Abstract

Didattica con e nella rete. Dall’emergenza all’uso ordinario (Teaching in and within the web. From the emergency to everyday use) examines the opportunities that online resources can offer to teaching and learning, as well as to teachers’ training. After showing how online resources can enhance students’ interaction and collaborative learning, the book illustrates how to plan and design online teaching activities, how to carry out assessment, and how teachers can use online resources for professional growth. Even
though it does not focus on language teaching in particular, the book contains some useful insights that can be applied to language courses, especially with respect to enhancing interaction. It is recommended for teachers approaching fully online teaching for the first time or for teachers willing to incorporate online methods into their classrooms.
