Praise for Staying Online: How to Navigate Digital Higher Education For many years I have enjoyed reading Bob Ubell's essays on online and digital education for their unique and insightful takes on important issues in online learning. I particularly appreciate his ability to shine a light on critical issues in engaging and accessible language. Ubell revisits and expands on many of his ideas in Staying Online, while including essential new chapters on remote learning in response to the pandemic and how his views have changed over time. The result is very much more than the sum of its parts. This volume is a must-read for all educators involved with online learning-which, these days, is all educators. -Karen Swan, Stukel Professor of Educational Leadership at University of Illinois Springfield, USA This collection of relevant chapters about online learning are essential readings and highly recommended for higher education leaders and faculty today. Bob Ubell has been a prominent and distinguished thought leader in the field for more than two decades. His insight and vision provide important guidance to our colleges and universities during this critical period. -Eric E. Fredericksen, Associate Vice President for Online Learning at University of Rochester, USA Digital higher education has a rich history and is often misunderstood. In this useful, contemporary collection of perspectives built on his extensive experience as an industry pioneer, Bob Ubell traces how online learning is evolving-with an eye toward the inevitable future where digital education is not a novelty but is instead a central, integrated aspect of how higher education institutions operate. -Sean Gallagher, Executive Director of the Center for the Future of Higher Education & Talent Strategy at Northeastern University, USA Praise for Going Online: Perspectives on Digital Learning This well-structured, well-researched collection gets to the root of the world's skepticism about digital education, and snippets of humor make it a more entertaining volume than readers might initially expect. Collectively, the essays argue that, despite our misgivings, online education is the best tool for advancing, creating, and distributing knowledge in the modern world. -Alex Moore, in TD Magazine (1 May 2017) Ubell's proposition is that online learning lets students process information in their own time. They can take part in online discussions and ask questions anonymously, without losing face. This demands a new pedagogy-teaching, learning and assessment for active learning communities. Academics must work with web designers and educational technologists to create conditions that let students control the pace and delivery of learning, yet continually share and respond to others' ideas...Those shifts can also foster an excitement that Robert Ubell's Going Online captures. -Mike Sharples, Emeritus Professor of Educational Technology in the Institute of Educational Technology at The Open University, UK, in Nature 540, 340 (15 December 2016) Ubell describes in detail how new technology allows us to use online learning in new ways that are both more participatory and more effective. These assertions come from someone with a remarkable track record of making learning actually happen. -Ralph Gomory, Research Professor in the Leonard N. Stern School of Business at New York University, USA, and former President of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation
