Students Experiences of e-learning in Higher Education helps
higher education instructors and university managers understand how
e-learning relates to, and can be integrated with, other student
experiences of learning. Grounded in relevant international
research, the book is distinctive in that it foregrounds students
experiences of learning, emphasizing the importance of how students
interpret the challenges set before them, along with their
conceptions of learning and their approaches to learning. The way
students interpret task requirements greatly affects learning
outcomes, and those interpretations are in turn influenced by how
students read the larger environment in which they study. The
authors argue that a systemic understanding is necessary for the
effective design and management of modern learning environments,
whether lectures, seminars, laboratories or private study. This
ecological understanding must also acknowledge, though, the agency
of learners as active interpreters of their environment and its
culture, values and challenges.
