Product Description

Review

'Contemporary perspectives in e-learning research is a useful book for those actively pursuing research in this area.' - British Journal of Educational Technology

'Esssential reading for anyone interested in understanding more about the research and practice of e-learning.' - Teaching in Higher Education

Product Description

E-learning is at an exciting point in its development; its potential in terms of research is great and its impact on institutional practices is fully recognised. This book defines e-learning as a field of research, highlighting the complex issues, activities and tensions that characterise the area.

Written by a team of experienced researchers and commented upon by internationally recognised experts, this book engages researchers and practitioners in critical discussion and debate about the findings emerging from the field and the associated impact on practice. Key topics examined include:

  • access and inclusion
  • the social-cultural contexts of e-learning
  • organisational structures, processes and identities
  • technical aspects of learning research – using tools and resources
  • approaches to learning and teaching practices and associated learning theories
  • designing for e-learning and the management of educational resources
  • professional roles and identities
  • the evolution of e-assessment
  • collaboration, motivation and educational evaluation.

Contemporary Perspectives in E-Learning Research provides a synthesis of research, giving readers a grounding in contemporary e-learning scholarship whilst identifying the debates that make it such a lively and fast-moving area. A landmark text in an evolving field, this book will prove invaluable for all researchers, practitioners, policy makers and students who engage with e-learning.

1.0 out of 5 stars Kindle edition is broken, 8 Aug 2011
By 
Luis Morais (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Contemporary Perspectives in E-learning Research: Themes, Methods and Impact on Practice (Open and Flexible Learning Series) (Kindle Edition)
What is it a good book for if the paragraphs are broken with the last lines appearing embedded in the middle of other paragraphs ahead. How good can knowledge be if images with text and graphs are so small one can't read them?

What plagues e-learning nowadays is exactly what plagues this e-book: lots of good intentions, very poor execution, it is just money to be made. Video games 1 x E-learning 0, again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Contemporary Perspectives in eLearning, 17 Oct 2009
By 
This review is from: Contemporary Perspectives in E-Learning Research: Themes, Methods and Impact on Practice (Open and Flexible Learning Series) (Paperback)
This is a really useful book for anyone undertaking elearning research - it is well written and really current. For those who are working in eLearning or education in general, it is also a useful reference point to help understand the pedagogical and technological basis of eLearning, flexible learning, blended learning, etc.
I'm not just plugging this because Grainne was my Professor of e-learning in the Institute of Educational Technology at the Open University! :)
It is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great in print even better as an e-book?, 9 Mar 2011

J. F. Vernon "video" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Contemporary Perspectives in E-learning Research: Themes, Methods and Impact on Practice (Open and Flexible Learning Series) (Kindle Edition)
Thorough, text book, sometimes hardwork, always informed needs a new edition every three months to keep up. Could it be constantly refreshed as an e-book? Authors all major academics and researchers. Would benefit from more corporate insights.
