The 'e-revolution' that has swept the higher and further education
sector over the last decade is now starting to make a real impact
in school-level teaching and learning around the world. Within the
global community there is a burgeoning interest in, and demand for,
open and distance learning solutions for schools. Improved
technology presents new opportunities for improving access (for the
children of travellers, or for those in geographically remote
areas, for example) and for improving pedagogy for more
'conventional' teaching (by offering teachers, parents and pupils
greater support and access to learning resources). The Open
Classroom features contributions from leading experts around the
world, including the United Kingdom, the United States, New
Zealand, Canada and India. It outlines the crucial issues
surrounding in- and out-of-school distance learning, provides
best-practice examples and also inspiring case studies that
illustrate both established success stories and the latest
groundbreaking developments. Contributors consider the following
broad issues: * classroom e-learning and the knowledge society; *
audiences for classroom e-learning; * classroom e-learning methods
Open and distance learning has been used in many ways in the recent past to provide both primary education and adult education. The Commonwealth of Learning works with governments, schools and universities with the aim of strengthening the capacities of Commonwealth member countries in developing human resources required for their economic and social development. Many existing policy documents link distance education with new information and communication technologies, portraying them as a promising universal access and exponential growth of learning. This book answers the key questions to these issues and assesses the impact and effect of the experience of basic education at a distance all over the world and in a wide variety of forms. This is the first major overview of this topic for twenty years.
