Book Description
Online Distance Education: Towards a Research AgendaA
Book Review and Awards
"In the past, most laymen, practitioners, and even experts in the field described distance education very simply as a form of learning in which physical proximity is replaced by distance and oral dialogue by mediated communication. This simplistic understanding still lingers in many people's minds. This volume demonstrates instead that online distance education is a comprehensive, many-sided process and a multifunctional system."--Otto Peters, FernUniversitat in Hagen
