Advanced Research in Computers and Communications in Education New Human Abilities for the Networked Society

This book discusses educational uses of technology in the service of enhanced learning. Bringing together contributions of researchers, practitioners and policy-makers, it aims to improve communication and understanding in educational research and practice involving technology. Networking is specially emphasized, since increasingly education via technology is available world-wide. Furthermore, many issues of pedagogy, access, equity, culture and social effects are discussed, alongside questions of technology. Technology is a means to allow people to enhance their abilities. More important than technology itself are the educational processes and outcomes. A substantial part of this book discusses these two central issues.Cumming, Geoff is the author of 'Advanced Research in Computers and Communications in Education New Human Abilities for the Networked Society' with ISBN 9781586030278 and ISBN 1586030272.
