 * [|Read, Reflect, Display, and Do (R2D2)] .pdf. During the summer of 2008, a book, Empowering Online Learning: 100+ Activities for Reading, Reflecting, Displaying, and Doing, was published which summarized many Web-based instruction opportunities related to the R2D2 model. This book describes 100+ online learning activities (25 ideas for each of the four quadrants of the R2D2 model) as well as variations, objectives, advice, and descriptions for each one. In addition, with each suggested activity, there are indices for the degree of risk, time, and cost. The duration of the activity and degree of learner-centeredness are also noted. Low-risk, low-time, low-cost activities can go a long way in overcoming hesitant or resistant instructors. And there are plenty of those in the R2D2 book. [|[1]]
