Distance Education » (New Edition)

Although distance education has developed rapidly over the past decade, writings on the subject are still scattered over a diverse range of often inaccessible sources. An up-to-date collection of the best writing on the subject is now needed for professors, PhD researchers and all who are seeking professional qualifications in this field.

Distance Education: New Perspectives brings together a selection of the best writing on the subject in recent years. Divided into six sections--theory, organization, administration, media, study and international perspectives--the book reflects the current concerns of distance educators and charts the progress in the field over the last ten years. It is an essential reference for all who work in this area.
