The Editor in Design and Development of Online - Jan Thiessen & Vince Ambrock, Theory and Practice of Online Learning
Introduction: The editor has traditionally played a key role in the design and development of instructional and educational materials. As both the Web and the technology and processes for delivering instructional materials on it have evolved, so too has the editor’s role in course design and delivery.
