Product Review
'This is a high quality, leading edge volume which seeks not only to explore social and cultural aspects of distributed learning but also to 'push the enevlope' of established methods of enquiry into open and distance educational theory.' - Carolyn Richardson, British Journal of Educational Technology

'This is a rich resource for teachers in a range of settings. Those of us working as teacher educators will find it extremely useful as a way of engaging our practitioner-students with the problematic issue of the relationship between learning and technology and challenging assumptions about the utility of ICT as a teaching tool The contributions offer an empowering indication of how we can better understand, and thus take a more active role in shaping, distibuted learning for the future.' - Janice Malcolm, Teaching in Higher Education

Product Description
During the last decade, new technologies have resulted in new forms for delivering learning, together with new terms for describing them - such as "distributed learning". These new forms include e-mail, video conferencing, Web CT, and computer conferencing. With contributions by some of the leading international authors in the area, Distributed Learning provides a theoretical framework for practitioners who are new to the field of distributed learning.
