Burnham, Douglas (Hrsg.): The E-Learning Reader

Technological advancements have revolutionised the field of learning over the years and are continuing to push the boundaries of institutions towards different forms of knowledge construction, social interaction and meaning making. This book examines the debates that have shaped that technological journey, from ancient to modern times.

'This book is timely, published at the transition from a period of large government investment programmes in e-learning to more austere times and where the effects of globalisation and ever-increasing changes in technology, combined with socio-economic and cultural changes, have all had major impacts on pedagogic practices and the education sector as a whole. Within the backdrop of all these changes, the book provides practitioners and policy-makers with a valuable and underpinning reflection and critique on current debates and controversies within e-learning and learning. I look forward to it energising the dialogue on the future of learning and education as well as helping to shape future pedagogic practices.'
