Education in Cyberspace

Sian Bayne (University of Edinburgh, UK) (Edited by) ,  Ray Land (University of Edinburgh, UK) (Edited by)

'The focus on online education helps frame the larger conversation and facilitates the formation of a theoretical understanding of higher education by which we determine what we become or became.' - David R Cillay, Teachers College Review, September 2005'This collection succeeds in its attempt to broaden the theoretical scope of debates about learning in cyberspace. My hope is that it will be widely read and debated, not least by those who are also engaged in designing learning environments.' - Sue Clegg, Teaching in Higher Education'I commend Education in Cyberspace to you, heartily...A really good read.' - British Journal of Educational Technology
