Delivering Learning on the Net: The Why, What and How of Online Education

by Martin Weller

As online education becomes more familiar, so the reality of using it in teaching and learning has moved beyond the realm of the specialist. Pedagogy and best practice
Delivering Learning on the Net explores the reality of online education today. Martin Weller chaired the groundbreaking Open University course You, Your computer and the Net, which is now the largest for-credit online course in Europe. Based on this and his experiences elsewhere, the book is a comprehensive resource grounded in practical reality as well as in research. Key issues covered include:
*the Net and its relation to education;
*developing and implementing online courses;
*the key issues surrounding online education.
Teachers, trainers, technologists, administrators and decision-makers working in higher and further education will all find much of value in this book.

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's facinating reading this book 22 years on and seeing what is still relevant (commercialisation of education), what has changed (the specific technological challenges), and what is circling round (in 2002 artificial intelligence tools appeared to have been left back in the '90s).

Looking back 22 years, I'd say this reads as a very insightful book for its time, with some sections that are relevant today.
