In 1996 the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign began an Internet-based teaching program, allowing students across the United States-and the world-to earn a Master's degree from a distance. The program, known as LEEP (Library Education Experimental Project), has been an outstanding success, and as an early innovation in Internet use, provides important lessons on how to flourish in an online environment.

Learning, Culture and Community in Online Education brings together significant new research on online education, using the LEEP program as a model to reveal a wealth of information about innovative online practices. Contributions by administrators, philosophers, faculty, librarians, technical staff, and researchers in the traditions of education, computer science, folklore, information science, and sociology, reveal the many perspectives to be taken into account when creating and maintaining distance learning programs. More than an analysis of the LEEP program, this book is an essential introduction to the variety of social and educational phenomena that occur within the socio-technical environments that support online learners.

Ingbert Schmidt
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reference for Distance Education Programs
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2005
Verified Purchase
This book is an excellent reference for Distance Education Programs and for Distance Education Researchers. The book has largely been inspired by the practice and research in the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign Graduate School of Library and Information Science's LEEP program, an online distance education program which combines synchronous and asynchronous sessions, using such technology as chat, bulletin boards, email, and both live and recorded audio. The book discusses both the practices of the program, and the unexpected lessons that have been learned by researching the program, addressing a diverse number of issues, from social consequences of different aspects of the program, to usability issues, to pedagogical issues.
