Summary

Behind the hype of the virtual university are real changes to the way practitioners are approaching university teaching, influenced by economic, political, social and technological issues. This critical book focuses on the changes to university teaching both on and off campus that have either come from, or themselves influenced the development of educational technologies. It draws on the experience of a number of contributors from a range of international university contexts and explores in detail the process of developing educational technologies and their effects on education. READERSHIP: Practitioners in distance education, open and flexible learning as well as those in university based education. Educational technology developers. Course developers and all those with an active role in managing the development of education.
