'In less than 200 page, the twenty contributors have certainly managed to encompass a remarkably wide range of topical issues and to suggest a host of approaches that are immediately applicable in on- and/or off-campus learning environments...Busy lecturers keen to re-consider, re-evaluate and improve their teaching will find much to reward them in this book.' -Colin Latchem, British Journal of Educational Technology, May 2005
