Global
Perspectives
on
E-Learningoffers
an
authoritative
compendium
of
online
teaching
and
learning
in
a
cross-section
of
nations
around
the
World.
This
is
a
state-of-the-art
review
of
promising
online
programs
by
authors
who
have
participated
in
the
movement.
Rarely
do
we
find
such
current
and
authoritative
information
about
educational
technology
developments
in
more
than
a
dozen
countries
in
six
continents.
We need more critical and reflective texts on distance education and its evolution within a global framework. The authors provide the reader a social and political context for thinking about global education.
Global Perspectives on E-Learningis a fascinating expedition on the road to democratizing online/distance learning through the dichotomy of rhetoric and social realities in countries around the world.
I think this is an excellent text. It provides the reader with a broad international perspective of distance education, something that is in short supply.
"A must-read for policy framers and curriculum shapers."
"The book is well written and well organized. It adds significantly to the literature that addresses global perspectives on e-learning, and is of particular interest to those seeking additional information about international programs. Cases represent different examples from five continents. Therefore the book is particularly useful for instructional designers, and policy makers who work for the disseminating online distance learning."
"This is indeed a disturbing, informative, and readable book. I commend it warmly to those who may wish to find out about developments in e-learning around the world; to those who have consciences which will be disturbed by much of what is highlighted and summarized here; to those willing to re-examine their optimism about the potential and implications of e-learning; and to those similarly willing to reconsider their pessimism. Buy it, read it, re-read it, question-and keep seeking answers."
"This volume brings together a number of reports on the global phenomenon of online distance education (referred to as e-learning) in several countries in Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania, and Africa. Editor Carr-Chellman and the respective chapter authors adopt a critical perspective of ‘international capitalist e-learning.’. . . . This book is for policy makers, practitioners, and the general public interested in gaining a more balanced perspective on how closely the rhetoric matched the reality of online distance learning."
"Global Perspectives on E-Learning: Rhetoric and Reality will be useful to students and research of distance learning, as well as those interested in global education, policy, and the cultural and political context of learning. The book is successful in presenting a critical, if perhaps unpopular, analysis of the current international applications of e-learning, but it is certainly not a negation of the usefulness of e-learning itself."

Editor
Alison
A.
Carr-Chellman
examines
the
impact
of
online
distance
education
throughout
the
world
in
an
effort
to
understand
more
deeply
the
merits
of
such
initiatives.
Written
from
a
critical
perspective,
the
book
sheds
light
on
some
of
the
problems
faced
by
international
distance
educators.
It
particularly
focuses
on
who
benefits,
and
who
does
not,
by
the
advance
of
international
e-learning
and
how
we
can
respond
to
the
needs
of
the
disenfranchised.
This
book
is
intended
to
supplement
what
has
to
this
point
been
largely
a
positive,
how-to
literature
in
distance
education.
It
offers
a
balanced
perspective
on
the
problems
and
possibilities
of
distance
education
worldwide.
