Learning Online prepares students to succeed in the online learning environment. This resource is a guide to the various components of online education, be they synchronous or asynchronous, paced or self-paced, and helps students understand their role as online learners alongside other students and their instructors. Though tailored to the needs of AU’s Faculty of Health Disciplines learners, much of the content is transferable to learners across institutions and programs.

Women and Leadership in Distance Education in Canada
The impact of distance education on higher learning is undeniable, and women have played a significant role in shaping the evolution of this field. However, their leadership contributions have remained largely unacknowledged and undervalued. Women and Leadership in Distance Education in Canada addresses this critical gap by amplifying the voices of Canadian women who have fostered inclusive, relational, and complexity-based leadership approaches that prioritize student needs, accessibility, and social justice.

“Something has happened to the world as we know it. We can no longer name the places where we once felt at home. We are no longer ourselves, even if some of us still have hair and nails. Beings slip into caves and under rotten leaves, find hidden nooks in which to breathe and shudder. Through Jun-long Lee’s unsettlingly lively series of poems, something new and potent is coming into being. I don’t know what it is and neither do you, but we will recognize it because we’ll have to. This book is a feathered and fleshy dream, so close it is almost but not quite human.” —Larissa Lai, author of The Tiger Flu
