About the Book

Incorporating a variety of contexts – face-to-face, self-directed, blended and distance learning modes – this book examines different perspectives on effectively designing and delivering learning activities to ensure that future development is pedagogically sound, learner focused and accessible. It considers key topics including:

• specific activities for achieving learning outcomes
• classifies and clarifies technologies’ uses for learning and role in educational design
• current systems and future developments
• learners’ competencies and approaches
• designing for mobile technologies
• practitioner development
• sustainability, organisational barriers and learning communities.

Illustrated by case studies from the disciplines and with a helpful appendix of tools and resources for researchers, practitioners and teachers, this book is an essential guide to effective design and implementation of sound e-learning activities.
