The SAGE Handbook of E-learning Research

Caroline Haythornwaite is Professor, School of Library, Archival & Information Studies, The iSchool at the University of British Columbia, Canada.  I focus on research in the fields of language education, argumentation, writing development, multimodality, rhetoric and e-learning. With colleagues I designed the MA in English Education. Jude Fransman is a Leverhulme Research Fellow at the Institute of Educational Technology, Open University, UK. Eric M. Meyers is Assistant Professor, School of Library, Archival and Information Studies, The iSchool at the University of British Columbia, Canada.

The second edition of The SAGE Handbook of E-learning Research continues and expands the success of the first edition. The editors have convened a remarkably strong and diverse set of authors who manage to include established areas such as CSCL and Networked Learning, as well as emerging areas and trends within e-learning such as learning analytics, social media and posthumanist perspectives. It covers an impressive breadth without compromising the depth and I am certain that it will be an indispensable resource to researchers, students and practitioners in the years to come.
