Reviews

"As the manager of the distance education unit at my university, I found this book to be an excellent and comprehensive introduction to knowledge media and its relationship with teaching and learning
This book is a handy reference for any education administrator planning the move from traditional face-to-face or print-based correspondence courses to on-line delivery.
