Incorporating this content into graduate programs is a key
component in creating change, since current and future faculty
members and policymakers must have the tools to deconstruct and
challenge dominant discourses if there can be any hope of
understanding the power and consequences involved in applying this
knowledge to policy creation. - Casandra E. Harper, Feminist
Formations
“At a time when higher education is struggling to take advantage of
the many technological innovations available to it, this timely and
thought-provoking second edition of E-tivities envisions a new way
to deliver curriculum. The book is written in a user friendly and
accessible style, challenging thinking not to merely shift from
‘traditional’ teaching to technologically supported learning, but
to re-think the learning process and conceptualise content and
delivery differently, in an e-form. Making a sound conceptual
argument, the author makes exceptional use of case studies and
guided thinking for the development of e-tivities, including the
use of open educational resources. This is a must read not only for
the practitioner wanting to change, but for institutional leaders
as well.”—Craig Mahoney, Chief Executive, Higher Education Academy,
UK"Everywhere I go in the world I meet people grateful for the
first edition of this book. With even more e-tivities and wise
advice, built on years of experience, this second edition will have
us all going back for more, to further improve our online teaching
and support."—Diana Laurillard, Professor of Learning with Digital
Technology, London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, UK"If the
collective wisdom of the past few decades of online learning could
be distilled and condensed into one easy-to-read book, it would be
this one. As Gilly Salmon shows, there is no end to the
technological tools that can be incorporated into one’s online
courses and programs. However, there is also no need to be lost,
frustrated, or uncertain when working in online environments. The
second edition of E-tivities is a powerful guide, which lays out an
immense set of possibilities while offering a framework in which to
make sense of them all."—Curt Bonk, President of CourseShare, LLC,
and Professor of Instructional Systems Technology in the School of
Education at Indiana University, USA"Gilly Salmon's challenge for
us to be part of the Quantum Generation of learning design frames
the field’s biggest question: what constitutes and redefines
effective learning in the digital age? In a remarkably concise way,
Salmon overviews the enormous changes in the decade since her first
edition before outlining many helpful approaches. This new edition
speaks to all those interested in making sense of the opportunities
and potential pitfalls of learning in the digital age. This is a
must-read!"—David Sadler, Deputy Vice Chancellor for Students &
Education, University of Tasmania, Australia
