This book is all about teaching more effectively using technology. It's about a new way to structure online learning which results in more engagement, higher completion rates and greater learner satisfaction. That, of course, leads to more action and more success.The best part is that the model also makes it easier for teachers. Learning is broken down, action based, learner focussed, and easier to create as a result.This model applies to working learners in all contexts, such as small business, education, corporations or charities. It applies particularly well to adult learners, but I believe it could also be very effective in schools and collges.If you want to create online courses which incite more action, success and satisfaction, then the Bite Sized Learning model is for you.
