Summary
A Framework for Teaching Music Online defines the current online learning landscape of music in higher education and then presents a cyclical teaching framework that describes how to practically develop an online music course. Each part of the framework takes the reader through the three main components of developing an online music course: communication, design, and assessment. Research-informed and practical, ideas and tools for faculty and students to implement into their current or future online teaching practice are explored. Johnson also considers future innovations, exploring knowledge sharing and professional learning networks.
Foreword
Uses research-informed practices and case study evidence to provide a framework to guide effective online music courses for music performance and music education programmes.
Additional text
The author wrote: "However, online music teaching is not a mere 'lift and shift' of Face-to-Face teaching design.” Dr. Carol Johnson has opened up the pedagogy and solutions of distance learning in music based on the history of distance learning and its theory. In a great way, she highlights the goals, opportunities, and ways of working in distance learning music. The knowledge provided by the book helps the reader to develop his or her own teaching work and to remove unnecessary preconceptions about the promotion of music education today.
