As the manager of the distance education unit at my university, I found this book to be an excellent and comprehensive introduction to knowledge media and its relationship with teaching and learning This book is a handy reference for any education administrator planning the move from traditional face-to-face or print-based correspondence courses to on-line delivery. The technologies of the Internet, multimedia, and telecommunications generally have generated a rapid shift to the use of web-based delivery for learning materials in the fields of education, training, and commerce that is nothing short of phenomenal. As a result, managers and developers are often finding themselves having to make decisions without adequate background infomration of the field, or a full understanding of the management approaches to it. Now published in paperback, this clear-sighted book addresses the issues of digitally led education and provides not only an overview of the developments in this important field, but a comprehensive guide to the issues, principles, best practices and skills required to succeed in the new digital education age. Its main features include: -clear organization, providing easily followed decision-making support -accessible coverage of key technical issues -concentration on issues of cost and quality -a vision of the future of digital delivery drawing on the international experience and outlook of the authors, this book will be essential reading for all managers, teachers, developers, technicians, and trainers, whether involved with delivering teaching or training material digitally, or with developing and using the new knowledge media. Used: Acceptable.
