Online Education: Global Questions, Local Answers (Baywood's Technical Communications)

by Kelli Cargile Cook Keith Grant-Davis

In "Online Education: Global Questions, Local Answers", 24 college educators focus on the most important questions to be addressed by all scholar-teachers and administrators committed to developing high-quality online education programs. We describe these questions as "global" because they transcend the particular situations of individual institutions. They are questions that everyone involved in online education needs to address: What are the issues to consider when first developing and then sustaining an online education program? How do we create interactive, pedagogically sound online courses and classroom communities? How should we monitor and assess the quality of online courses and programs? And how should recent developments and innovations in online education cause us to reexamine our roles and responsibilities as educators in technical communication?While these global questions affect all of us in one way or another, they demand different local answers, such as those presented by the contributors to this text. Readers will need to consider which of these local answers might apply to their own situations and how these answers might need to be adapted to reflect the particular needs of their own institutions.

Online Harms and Cybertrauma: Legal and Harmful Issues with Children and Young People

by Catherine Knibbs

This vital, sensitive guide explains the serious issues children face online and how they are impacted by them on a developmental, neurological, social, mental health and wellbeing level. Covering technologies used by children aged two through to adulthood, it offers parents and professionals clear, evidence-based information about online harms and their effects and what they can do to support their child should they see, hear or bear witness to these events online. Catherine Knibbs, specialist advisor in the field, explains the issues involved when using online platforms and devices in family, social and educational settings. Examined in as non-traumatising a way as possible, the book covers key topics including cyberbullying; cyberstalking; pornography; online grooming; sexting; live streaming; vigilantism; suicide and self-harm; trolling and e-harassment; bantz, doxing and social media hacking; dares, trends and life-threatening activities; information and misinformation; and psychological games. It also explores the complex overlap of offline and online worlds in children and young people’s lives. Offering guidance and proactive and reactive strategies based in neuroscience and child development, it reveals how e-safety is not one size fits all and must consider individual children’s and families’ vulnerabilities. Online Harms and Cybertrauma will equip professionals and parents with the knowledge to support their work and direct conversations about the online harms that children and young people face. It is essential reading for those training and working with children in psychological, educational and social work contexts, as well as parents, policy makers and those involved in development of online technologies.

Online Peer Engagement in Adolescence: Positive and Negative Aspects of Online Social Interaction (Studies in Adolescent Development)

by Nejra Van Zalk

This book provides an in-depth insight into what is currently known and relatively unknown about youths’ online peer engagement. It delivers state-of-the-art current reviews of the literature in the field, with a strong coverage of methodological issues in studying online friendships and an emphasis on moving towards a new, less dichotomic, view of online peer interaction in adolescence. With a focus on what spending time with online-exclusive peers entails – in terms of both potential positive as well as negative consequences for friendship quality, intimacy, and well-being – this book offers a more nuanced commentary on youths’ online peer engagement. Including coverage of the evolution of online friendships, cyberbullying, cyberdating, sexting, online abuse, smartphones, social networks, as well as their impact on adolescent social interaction online, Van Zalk and Monks consider implications for future research directions and practical applications. Online Peer Engagement in Adolescence is important reading for undergraduate and master students studying social and developmental psychology, education, relationships and health, as well as advanced researchers and academics working in these fields.

Online Resilience and Wellbeing in Young People: Representing the Youth Voice (Palgrave Studies in Cyberpsychology)

by Andy Phippen Louisa Street

This book explores online resilience and safety from a new perspective, by drawing extensively upon the youth voice. While “online safety” as a concept has now existed for well over ten years, the majority of policy and narrative is driven by preventative and adultist views of ensuring safety from harm. Underpinned by extensive empirical work, this book argues that safety, or freedom from harm, is not an achievable goal and we should refocus upon harm reduction and risk mitigation. Fundamental to this argument is that the youth voice clearly states that they will not disclose, or ask adults for support, because they do not believe they will get help or worse, will be punished as a result of disclosure. The research shows that professionals often bring their own digital value biases into safeguarding decisions, and feel that they should be white knights to young people, rather than listening to them and supporting them in a non-judgemental way. The book will be of great value to researchers and students as well as practitioners, teachers and parents interested in digital resilience and safeguarding, internet security and youth online behaviour and wellbeing.

Online Sexual Offending: Theory, Practice, and Policy

by Michael C. Seto

This second edition takes a multidisciplinary and practical approach to online sexual offending, providing psychologists and other professionals with the knowledge to understand this issue and the tools to solve it. Clinical and forensic psychologist Michael C. Seto keeps readers up with this ever-evolving problem as technology advances and presents new risks, particularly for children and adolescents. He reviews updated research on topics like child pornography, sexting and other sexual content generated by minors, online sexual solicitation and trafficking, digital exhibitionism and voyeurism, AI-generated pornography, deepfakes, and virtual sex dolls. He also describes new and revised tools and guidelines for assessing and treating perpetrators—particularly those committing offenses involving children and adolescents—and preventive measures to help at-risk individuals and to guide parents, minors, and bystanders to protect children and adolescents online. In addition to empirical research on various types of online sexual offending, Seto explores what drives perpetrators to engage in these behaviors, focusing particularly on the motivation–facilitation model.

Online Supervision: A Handbook for Practitioners (Psychotherapy 2. 0 Ser.)

by Anne Stokes

As online therapy becomes more mainstream, the importance of using a means of supervision which parallels this is increasingly being recognised by practitioners and the professional bodies. Very little has been written about this newly developing way of working, so this book is timely. Online Supervision: A Handbook for Practitioners covers a wide range of issues, from the practical aspects of how supervision happens, through research, legal and ethical issues to specific therapeutic settings and issues. Existing models of supervision are considered in the context of the online setting and new models which have been developed specifically for supervising online are explored.All chapters are authored by experienced online therapists and supervisors, who bring their considerable knowledge from their practice to illuminate this growing area of the profession. In many chapters, anonymised case examples illustrate the text, alongside reflective activities which readers can choose to undertake.While the book aims to develop the practice of online supervision of online therapists, it is recognised that there are circumstances which mean that some practitioners may choose to engage in online supervision of their face-to-face work. This is recognised and guidelines for offering and engaging in online supervision are discussed. Many practitioners begin to offer online supervision without specialised training and the final chapter centres on a discussion about the value and necessity of undertaking preparation for working in a new medium.Online Supervision: A Handbook for Practitioners will be highly readable and accessible to both experienced practitioners and newcomers to this field.

Online Teaching and Learning in the COVID-19 Era: Perspectives on Equity and Epistemic Justice

by Felix Maringe Otilia Chiramba

This book examines the ongoing changes initially caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the future prospects of teaching and learning in higher education institutions. It focuses on the impact of online education on issues of learning equity and epistemic justice. The transition from traditional face-to-face teaching to remote learning has exacerbated existing inequalities in epistemological access among higher education students, despite the shortcomings of the former in this regard. The book features essays by African academics who reflect on the challenges of epistemological access during the sudden shift to hybrid, blended and remote teaching and learning. It specifically explores the question of equitable learning in diverse home contexts, drawing on both theoretical and empirical studies conducted by the authors in South African universities and the region. The chapters employ the conceptual framework of epistemic injustice to define and explore various forms of such injustice, providing a basis for analyzing the implications of the transition to online pedagogy.

Online-Lehre mit System: Wie man in der digitalen Lehre passgenaue Lernimpulse setzt und neue Lernerfahrungen ermöglicht (essentials)

by Martina Eckert

Dieses Buch zeigt, wie eine gelungenen Online-Lehre an Hochschulen mit dem Lernzyklus-Modell von David Kolb aufgebaut und durchgeführt werden kann. Zu Beginn der Corona-Krise 2020 mussten Lehrkräfte an Hochschulen und in der Fort- und Weiterbildung sehr schnell von der Präsenzlehre auf Online-Lehre umschwenken. Nicht nur die technischen Herausforderungen waren zu bewältigen. Durch den veränderten Zugang waren didaktische Hürden zu nehmen und Lernende auf Distanz zu motivieren, zu instruieren und Lernprozesse zu steuern. In solchen radikalen Veränderungs-Situationen ist man auf Beispiele und Modelle angewiesen. Will man sich nicht in Versuch und Irrtum verschleißen, braucht man einen Orientierungsrahmen – ein Design. David Kolb hat in den 1970er Jahren bereits seinen Lernzyklus zum Erfahrungslernen vorgelegt. Er eignet sich hervorragend um zu verstehen: welche Lernschritte vollzogen werden müssen, damit Studierende Wissen erwerben und den Lerntransfer leisten können,welche unterschiedlichen Lernbedürfnisse und Lernstile Studierende haben und wie man diese motivierend bedient,wie man Lehrmaterialien und Instruktionen am besten gestaltet, um als Lehrende/r eine möglichst nachhaltige und ganzheitliche Lernerfahrung zu initiieren,welche Entlastungen sich mittelfristig in der Lehre durch Teil-Automatisierung in digitalen Lehrformen ergeben.Mit den neuen digitalen Möglichkeiten eröffnen sich jetzt neue und spannende Perspektiven in der Lehre. Dieses Buch gibt praxiserprobte Tipps, diese Chancen zu nutzen.

Ontology of Sex: A Critical Inquiry Into The Deconstruction And Reconstruction Of Categories (Routledge Studies in Critical Realism)

by Carrie Hull

Poststructuralism, particularly through the writings of Michel Foucault and Judith Butler, has achieved remarkable success in challenging our belief in natural sex categories and instincts. Here, Carrie Hull endorses the progressive ideals of poststructuralism while demonstrating the superiority of a realist account of sex and sexuality. Embracing biological and cultural variability, Hull nonetheless shows that the sexed body is naturally structured and deeply meaningful. Poststructuralist philosophers have argued that biological sex is a continuum rather than a binary, and that sex identity and drive are entirely performances of cultural norms rather than expressions of innate qualities. Hull draws parallels with Nelson Goodman, W.V.O. Quine, and B.F. Skinner to show that these poststructuralist theories are rooted in a nominalist, relativist, and behaviourist philosophy, and develops an alternative framework using arguments from contemporary and critical realism. Employing colourful illustrations from biology, anthropology and psychology, Hull demonstrates the rich potential of realist philosophy, and concludes that it is philosophically and scientifically correct, on one hand, and politically advisable, on the other, to maintain a distinction - albeit attenuated - between sex and gender, and sexuality and behaviour.
