Produktbeschreibung

Containing contemporary essays from Australia, the UK, Ireland, New Zealand and Canada, this volume analyses the changes arising from convergence--changes which are seen as having the potential to revolutionize the provision of education over the next thirty years. It examines how various technologies have broken down clear distinctions between Open and Distance Learning (ODL) and conventional education.
