Book Review: Minds online: teaching effectively with technology

Abstract

In Minds Online: Teaching Effectively with Technology, Michele Miller seeks to show how technology can improve learning. Drawing on the latest research in cognitive psychology, Miller breaks down the cognitive processes of attention, memory, thinking, and motivation and argues for careful and selective pairing of technologies with how the brain works and learns. The reviewer recommends this book for both new and experienced online instructors.
