This is a compilation of three books that are good when used together. The reason for this review is that I have an interest in finding out how useful they would be for teaching myself or others online. I also want to be able to create my own online courses. I found the following useful information in the books:
Book 1: covers topics such as planning, preparing and delivering lessons, using resources, assessment and reflection. This book was really good for getting an overview of teaching in general.
Book 2: is focused on teaching online, including tools and techniques for creating online courses, managing learning activities and monitoring student progress. It also includes a section on how to market your online course. This book was really helpful for getting started with teaching online.
Book 3: is about creating your own courses and includes planning, presentation and assessment ideas. It also covers content creation (what should go into the course), course design (how to sequence the material) and it provides examples of projects students can work on. This book was really good for getting an idea about what needs to be included in a lesson plan and what might be possible once you master all this information.
Finding these books together is brilliant because they cover everything; from teaching in general through to creating your own online courses. I think that each book is useful on its own as well as when used together. My overall rating for these three books combined would be 10/10 because they gave me lots of great information in an easy-to-understand format (for example with headings and summaries at the end of each chapter). I found them informative, interesting and helpful.

"The Teaching Today Series is a series of three books, all by Selena Watts; the first book is 'Teaching yourself to teach' and it discusses how anyone – even those who do not have experience in education – can teach. The second book is titled: 'Teaching online', and this focuses on how teachers can make use of technology to teach, or cause them to teach more effectively. The third book is 'Creating courses online' and this talks about how teachers can make their own courses which can be taken by anyone worldwide.
The books are written in a simple enough way that someone with little experience in teaching will be able to understand it. The first book discusses many topics, including the things that one should focus on when teaching someone for the first time. It also discusses learning styles and how they can be used to create lessons that are more applicable to the students' needs.
The second book discusses how technology can play an important role in creating efficient ways to communicate with students; it even has a section where it discusses how people can create their own online university courses. It also goes into detail about the concept of MOOCs and the advantages it provides to both teachers and students.
The third book discusses the process that one should go through in order to create an online course. It discusses how one can make it fun and interactive, to keep students interested. Since this book is only an excerpt of the third book, it does not really discuss much, but it can be inferred that there are tips included which will help teachers through their journey in creating."
