I hope that the "Remotely Close" classroom becomes the default posture of Christian online educational delivery systems.    Dr. Earl Creps

Author & Professor

The ability to create community, establish a culture, and engage in relationships will separate schools that do online education well from those that do not. Dr. Day offers practical insight and research-based evidence on how an online intuition can accomplish these tasks while remaining academically strong and true to the institution’s values. The research and methodology presented will help one make their online educational program both engaging and life-giving for the student, the faculty, and the institution. Dr. Day is a proven leader in this field, and this book will reflect his understanding of and passion for online education.

Poorly designed and executed online programs rob students of an essential element of education: relationships. Dr. Daniel Day's Remotely Close provides proven and effective solutions to allow students and instructors to have dynamically relational learning experiences even when not physically close.

Dr. Daniel Day’s work on remote learning comes at exactly the right moment in Church history. With the Great (Pastoral) Resignation now emptying pulpits across the nation, online ministry training becomes a critical tool for restoring the strength of America’s churches. I highly recommend it!
