""Informed by an intimate knowledge of a social literacies
perspective, this book is full of profound insights and unexpected
connections. Its scholarly, clear-eyed analysis of the role of new
media in higher education sets the agenda for e-learning research
in the twenty-first century"
Ilana Snyder, Monash University
"This book offers a radical rethinking of e-learning ... The
authors challenge teachers, course developers, and policy makers to
see e-learning environments as textual practices, rooted deeply in
the social and intellectual life of academic disciplines. This
approach holds great promise for moving e-learning past its focus
on technology and 'the learner' toward vital engagement with fields
of inquiry through texts."
Professor David Russell, Iowa State University"
"Challenging e-learning in the University" takes a new approach
to the growing field of e-learning in higher education. In it, the
authors argue that in order to develop e-learning in the university
we need to understand the texts and practices that are involved in
learning and teaching using online and web-based technologies.
The book develops an approach which draws together social and
cultural approaches to literacies, learning and technologies,
illustrating these in practice through the exploration of case
studies.
It is key reading for educational developers who are concerned
with the promises offered, but rarely delivered, with each new
iteration of learning with technologies. It will also be of
interest to literacies researchers and to HE policy makers and
managers who wish to understand the contexts of e-learning.
