About this Site

Learning in Real Time is a site dedicated to bringing together and helping those looking to enhance the quality of collaboration and learning online through the magic of real-time interaction.

The site connects colleagues from across the globe to share ideas about real-time online learning and offers a wide range of free resources and community-based gathering venues and events.

The Learning in Real Time site is also a dynamic companion resource for a new book by the same name. Authored by online learning guru Jonathan Finkelstein and released by Wiley/Jossey-Bass in August 2006, the Learning in Real Time book is a concise and practical resource for anyone teaching live and online or wanting to humanize and improve interaction in their online courses. The book offers keen insight into the world of synchronous learning tools, guides instructors in evaluating how and when to use them, and illustrates how educators can develop their own strategies and styles in implementing such tools to improve online learning.

The centerpiece of the site is the Real Time Minute (RTM), which offers quick tips, musings and reflections to provoke dialogue and help jumpstart or improve real-time online learning experiences.
