James P. Howard, II + John F. Beyers, editors
Teaching mathematics online is not a matter of moving a lecture onto a screen. It changes how we explain, assess, interact, and sometimes how we think about the mathematics itself.
Two editions · one changing field
The first edition appeared in 2020. The second arrived five years later, after an extraordinary natural experiment forced teachers and students everywhere to find out what online learning could—and could not—do.
Second edition · 2025
A substantially expanded edition that preserves the practical core of the first while adding nine chapters, lessons from COVID-19, and a much broader account of the technological landscape.
First edition · 2020
The original collection: practical work from instructors already teaching mathematics and statistics at a distance, organized around course design, interaction, technology, teacher education, and commentary.
The technology matters. The teaching matters more.
The change in five years
The organizing questions stayed recognizable. The evidence base, available tools, and collective experience did not.
