Literacy in the Digital University is an innovative volume bringing together perspectives from two fields of enquiry and practice: 'literacies and learning' and 'learning technologies'. With their own histories and trajectories, these fields have seldom overlapped either in practice, theory, or research. In tackling this divide head on, the volume breaks new ground. It illustrates how complementary and contrasting approaches to literacy and technology can be brought together in productive ways and considers the implications of this for practitioners working across a wide range of contexts. The book showcases work from well-respected authorities in the two fields in order to provide the foundations for new conversations about learning and practice in the digital university. It will be of particular relevance to university teachers and researchers, educational developers and learning technologists, library staff, university managers and policy makers, and, not least, learners themselves, particularly those studying at post-graduate level.

This monograph will enable researchers and practitioners to construct a wealth of new ideas about globalised virtual learning environments and in particular the implications for learners, teachers and institutions.With the growth of trans-national education online, more learners are experiencing learning environments characterised by cultural diversity. This timely book presents a view of recent thinking and practice related to globalised virtual learning environments, and suggests new ways of understanding the meanings that are created when learners, teachers, and institutions set out to create learning communities online. In doing so it will help to construct a new idea, that of the learning culture, which will be of particular relevance to researchers and practitioners in the rapidly expanding field of global online education.

""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.

Este libro: "El marxismo en resumen; de la critica del capitalismo a la sociedad sin clases" se esfuerza en resumir en un lenguaje lo mas accesible posible los conceptos fundamentales del marxismo, sin edulcorar por ello su caracter cientifico y revolucionario.
