Distance Education and Technology: Issues and Practic
David Murphy, Ronnie Carr, James Taylor and Wong Tat-meng

The past decade or so has seen distance education flourish in a period of intense change. Technology, particularly information and communications technology (ICT), has been instrumental in bringing about a major transformation in the learning environments available to students.

The chapters in this book, written by authors from around the globe, provide detailed analysis and discussion of the changes through which distance education is evolving as educators apply technology.

The book is organized into three sections:
•    Issues: provides a focus on issues that currently face those applying technology in distance education contexts.
•    Teaching and learning with technology: offers a range of perspectives and case studies on current experience of technology’s role in distance education.
•    Innovative approaches: presents a series of examples of applications that are advancing the use of technology in distance education.

Distance Education and Technology: Issues and Practice will be of interest to all educators who seek to make use of today’s technologies to enrich their students’ learning .
