This 17-chapter resource explains how to plan, design, and teach K-12 online courses and programs. Educators from the US describe the foundational aspects (learning management systems, teacher qualities and skills, building community, student engagement and learning using constructivist approaches, the application of the technology pedagogical content knowledge (TPACK) framework to online learning, and technology integration), then how to support diverse learners using flipped learning, virtual home-school communication, universal design for learning, and assistive technology, as well as helping special education teachers transition to online teaching. They also provide implementation strategies related to teacher-created content, student-centered project-based learning, the curation of open and free educational resources, assessment, and mobile apps and technology for virtual and hybrid learning spaces.
