New Ideas for Online Learning: Keeping up with the Changes: Internet Learning Volume 3, Number 2 - Softcover

Can a growing number of students in distance education reach such levels that conventional education is permanently changed? Does online education reflect the current economic crisis? Are faculty becoming less and less conventional, while adjunct ranks swell still further? Is "education by Skype" potentially more effective than time honored lectures in a classroom? What is working in online education? How will online education influence primary and secondary instruction, and what is its future in developing countries? What are some of the most effective tools and technologies? And what are the challenges? These and other issues are explored as online learning tools and techniques advance.
