Synopsis
There is currently a technological revolution taking place in higher education. The growth of e-learning is being described as explosive, unprecedented, and above all, disruptive. This timely and comprehensive book provides a coherent framework for understanding e-learning in higher education.The authors draw on their extensive research in the area to explore the technological, pedagogical and organisational implications of e-learning, and more importantly, they provide practical models for educators to use to realise the full potential of e-learning. A unique feature of the book is that the authors focus less on the ever-evolving technologies and more on the search for an understanding of these technologies from an educational perspective.This book will be invaluable for researchers, practitioners and senior administrators looking for guidance on how to successfully adopt e-learning in their institutions. It will also appeal to anyone with an interest in the impact of e-learning on higher education and society.

First Sentence

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   13 of 16 people found the following review helpful: Worth reading but one-sided, 17 Nov 2003 By A Customer A relatively short book that is certainly worth reading because it sums-up a particular way of thinking amongst higher education e-learning providers. But, be aware that much of what is written is based on opinion, not fact, and that the philosophical bias contained is only one way of approaching the subject.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   6 of 7 people found the following review helpful: Seminal book for HE, 1 Aug 2005 By  "mermaidinthebasement" - See all my reviews Because the work is research-based and driven by pedagogy rather than technology, this book should find its way onto the shelves of anyone interested in intelligent discourses about distributed elearning. Garrison and Anderson address the issue from a sociological and philosphical perspective as well as offering models of practice, avoiding case studies but clearly drawing on their experience as practitioners and researchers. Their suggestion of the importance of teaching, cognitive and social "presence" is well developed and offers much in the way of reassurance to anyone anxious that the drivers for online teaching and learning within HE are about saving time and money!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
