A Framework for Teaching Music Online defines the current online learning landscape of music in higher education and then presents a cyclical teaching framework that describes how to practically develop an online music course. Each part of the framework takes the reader through the three main components of developing an online music course: communication, design, and assessment. Research-informed and practical, ideas and tools for faculty and students to implement into their current or future online teaching practice are explored. Johnson also considers future innovations, exploring knowledge sharing and professional learning networks.
