Flexible Learning in a Digital World Experiences and Expectations

Technological development has resulted in widespread change in the way students can learn. The scale of this change cannot be over-emphasised, with over 10 million students now using distance education as their main access to learning. Every university in the world now relies on digital systems to a greater or lesser extent; students routinely use multi-media and internet resources. Against this background and the fact that technology is now a staple part of education, this book answers the questions 'what lessons have been learned from decades of research and practical experience with educational technology?' and 'what are the implications of these lessons for HE now, and in the future?'Collis, Betty is the author of 'Flexible Learning in a Digital World Experiences and Expectations', published 2001 under ISBN 9780749433727 and ISBN 0749433728.
