Review :
'No other single volume brings together such a comprehensive and thoughtful collection of influential ideas related to the topic of e-Learning. This is a remarkable, well organized, and accessible collection of foundational readings on critical topics that will inform the theoretical development and practical application of the field of e-Learning.' Daniel Surry, Professor of Instructional Design and Development, University of South Alabama, USA '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.' Peter Chatterton, Managing Director of Daedalus e-World and Visiting Professor in the Centre for the Enhancement of Learning and Teaching, University of Hertfordshire, UK
