Zusatztext ‘This book is timely, published at the transition from a period of large government investment programmes in e-learning to more austere times and where the effects of globalisation and ever-increasing changes in technology, combined with socio-economic and cultural changes, have all had major impacts on pedagogic practices and the education sector as a whole. Within the backdrop of all these changes, the book provides practitioners and policy-makers with a valuable and underpinning reflection and critique on current debates and controversies within e-learning and learning. I look forward to it energising the dialogue on the future of learning and education as well as helping to shape future pedagogic practices.'
