" Through case studies of actual teachers in actual schools primarily in North America but in other countries as well, the book provides compelling insights into the growth and value of new forms of K-12 learning mediated by information and communication technologies (ICTs). A must-read for all those involved with K-12 learning, this book will no doubt become an essential resource. "
- Elizabeth Murphy, internationally recognized researcher on technology-mediated learning, Professor, Faculty of Education , Memorial University of Newfoundland

"This book is a must read for Ministers of Education, policy advisors, and school leaders seeking transformation in K12 learning. Whether innovating on curriculum, assessment, or mobile technology, embracing new digital pedagogies, or preparing students and teachers with the skills and experiences needed in our global society, this book is something you will keep coming back to again and again.
Online, Blended, and Distance Education brings together leading experts in learning with technology highlighting the depth and breadth of critical questions and conversations every K12 leader should be having today.
Whether you are considering new mobile learning, digital curriculum, and professional development initiatives or preparing students for the new world. I recommend starting with Ferdig, Cavanaugh and Friedhoff chapter, as it helped set my frame of reference by 'Asking the Right Question'.
With supporting global case studies highlighting innovative practices and up-to-the-minute easy to read research, together with the important considerations of scale, sustainability and equity, this book provides the necessary deep thinking needed to begin and evaluate vision, policies and strategies required for holistic change and transformation."
--Aidan McCarthy, Global Digital Learning Strategy, Microsoft Corporation

The tremendous growth in K-12 online and blended learning programs in recent years is creating new needs for policy development, infrastructure building, teacher and administrator training, and for program development in areas such as curriculum, instruction, technology and management. As blended learning approaches bring online learning into the K-12 mainstream, university teacher education and administrator preparation programs need to prepare educators for the incorporation of online and blended learning in their professional practice. K-12 educators need to learn new ways of teaching and supporting learning online through effective, research-based professional development. The proposed book is designed to meet these needs by providing advice through chapters contributed by experienced practitioners and experts in the field.

Online, Blended and Distance Education in Schools: Building Successful Programs provides expert opinions and insights on the practice and policy regarding K-12 distance, online and blended programs, including curriculum, instruction, technology and management aspects. It describes the status and trends of the field, provides illustrative program examples, explores the issues and challenges that programs face and highlights ongoing research in key areas related to program effectiveness.
