It will be invaluable to all concerned with integrating and embedding e-learning in our educational systems.' - Diana Laurillard, Pro Vice Chancellor, Learning Technologies and Teaching, The Open University, UK'If you are looking for a book that has solid recommendations on the whole process of course development, from management to evaluation, via content design and delivery, then this book is a good investment.' - Dr Matthew Fox, Director of Learning Solutions, Epic Group'In a series of well-written, focused chapters and an excellent epilogue, the book lays out the complexities of contemporary thinking on e-learning in an accessible and stimulating fashion.' - Doug Rae, University College Northampton in LATISS 1, 2004'Anyone looking for a good overview of current thought would benefit from this book. It deals with the subject at a good level, is based on research and it presents a realistic impression of the state of the art, the problems we face and the issues we already know about. It will be recognisable to readers who are familiar with the subject and describes everything sharply and clearly for them again, while presenting many eye-openers for those who are less well acquainted with research into e-learning.' -
