Description
Distributed Learning: A Social and Cultural Approach to Practice offers a comprehensive collection of perspectives on open and distance learning in a rapidly globalising world. This book brings together contributions from leading international authors, exploring key issues such as the impact of ICT on traditional teaching methods, the value of 'activity theory' and 'communities of practice', and the relationship between globalisation and distributed learning. The text provides a sound theoretical framework for practitioners interested in how distributed learning is shaping post-compulsory education. It also examines issues of identity and community in designing courses for virtual students, as well as language and literacies in distributed learning contexts. Suitable for those seeking to understand the social and cultural aspects of distributed learning, this book offers useful introductory reading for anyone looking to build a sound theoretical framework for their practice.
