'Interaction is addressed from many perspectives in this very fine book... In particular, the materials on authentic activities, peer learning, learning communities and the educational semantic web stretch our thinking about human interaction beyond discussion forums in online education.' - Prof. Dr. Betty Collis, University of Twente & Moonen & Collis Learning Technology Consultants, B.V.'The excellent contributions assembled in this book will provide academics with solid evidence of the shift towards new personalised learning solutions... The book contains valuable case studies which will be of immense value to educational institutions of all levels looking at providing solutions for the new breed of neo-millenium leaner.' - Professor Steve Molyneux, University of Wolverhampton, UK
