Educational Research: Networks and Technologies

"This groundbreaking book records the intellectual struggles of a diverse and distinguished group of scholars as they come to grips with the changes in knowledge production, and modes of research communication, engendered by contemporary information and communications technology. The book performs a major service in placing the phenomenon of networks - their potentialities and also their dangers - squarely on our intellectual agenda."






D.C. Phillips, Professor Emeritus of Education and Philosophy, Stanford University






"In this book, a rich array of international scholars in the philosophy and history of education address a pressing concern in contemporary educational research  and educational practice: the impact of information technology and networks.  The authors are strikingly successful, both in explicating the effects of these changes on both domains and in subverting these effects by pointing out the ironies and continuities lodged beneath technology's veneer of utility and novelty."






David F. Labaree, Professor of Education, Stanford University
