A real revolution is taking place in the way in which we
conceptualise and practise education and learning. This book sets
out to explore the immense impact which digital technology is
having on education around the world and the ways in which it is
used by a wide range of individuals and communities. Contributors
analyse changes in technology such as e-mail, the Internet, digital
video and other media, but also the effect of this new technology
on the way people live and learn around the world. Cultural changes
taking place range from the blurring of boundaries between formal
and informal learning to the development of new 'virtual
communities' which revolve around particular social or cultural
interests, and which serve as a crucial tool and source of identity
for spatially displaced communities such as refugees. Digital
technology is changing the way we all live, and this book is an
authoritative study of these changes in all their diversity.
