Online instructors need a framework for “teaching beyond text” using rich media as instructional resources. These include multimedia, social media, and cloud-based Web tools. This book defines rich media, its affordances, its value in conveying information, a model for pedagogical strategies, a set of instructor competencies, and two models for assessment for use in professional development.

Social media, digital devices, and networked communication systems have entered our collective bloodstream. This e-book touches upon the human experience of contemporary trends that affect how we perceive ourselves, others, and society.

This book was developed to support the Granite State College introductory courses EDU 617 and 717, Students with Disabilities. Chapters 1-11 are developed to align with the disability summary assignments. Each of these concise chapters explains the corresponding section of the disability summary template. This eBook is a work in progress and will evolve as high quality open resources become available.

Chapters 12-23 provide an introduction to each of the 13 IDEA disabilities. Some chapters are more comprehensive than others, depending on the availability of open resources. These disability specific chapters are a good resource for anyone who needs a review or a deeper understanding of these disabilities and how to support these students in the classroom with research based learning strategies.
