ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

Many of our readers have told us over the years that they have used our book originally titled Lessons from the Cyberspace Classroom as a guide to starting their work in online teaching and learning and also as a training manual for other faculty. For a few years, you've been asking us to update it: we heard you and hope that this work helps you to continue yours. Thanks for the encouragement!

Once again, we thank the patient, supportive, and dedicated people at Jossey-Bass. Thanks in particular to Erin Null and Alison Knowles. Thanks also to those of you who have helped make the online presentations of our work possible. It has been a great experience to do the Online Teaching and Learning Conferences and the Wiley Learning Institute.

Thanks to George Engel for introducing us to the wonderful world of mobile technology and for your great contribution to the book in chapter 4. We're looking forward to continuing our work together!

We always thank Fielding Graduate University for supporting our work and for the other universities with which we're affiliated—Capella, Walden, University of the Rockies, and Wayland Baptist—for giving voice to our practice of online teaching. We also warmly acknowledge our students: without you, this book would not be here!

Thanks, of course, to our families. Your patience and love help us to do what we do and push us onward in the exploration of new ways to pursue our passion.
