Conquering the Content by Robin M. Smith

I received this notification from Amazon last week. Conquering the Content: A Step-by-Step Guide to Online Course Design by Robin M. Smith will release in April. It looks interesting. I'm anxious to see if it relates directly to our virtual school observations. I'm hoping to get the book before the end of the term.

Amazon's description states:
Product Description
Conquering the Content is a practical resource for faculty who tackle overwhelming amounts of course content that must be tailored for Web-based learning. This important guide offers step-by-step instructions for creating online learning experiences that are manageable, effective, and of the highest quality.

Ready for a dumb question? Who exactly designs virtual courses? I know the teachers tweak them, but who are the people who create the courses for virtual school programs like the one we're observing? What are their qualifications?

I look forward to reading your impressions of the book, which sounds fascinating.

Oops! That's what I get for reading your blog backwards. You answered my questions several posts ago. Sorry.
