A unique feature of the book is that the authors focus less on the specifics of 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."--Jacket.
