Review :
"The increasing popularity of online degree programs and the infusion of technology in classrooms, elementary school through higher education, make this book a valuable resource for students and practitioners....the information provided is unparalleled."
—CHOICE
"The handbook as a whole provides a breathtaking and wonderfully thorough 'state-of-the-art' look at this growing area of study. As more and more schools incorporate technology in learning (both in the classroom and in distance education programs), the research presented here will become even more valuable and something with which all teachers and administrators should become familiar....The handbook gives an extraordinary introduction to the field and is a reference book to which one can return frequently and profitably."
