Global perspectives on e‐learning

This is a disturbing book. It poses questions, and provides us with assistance in formulating our own answers. It is also an informative book. It provides much up-to-date, hard information about the development and, in most cases, the appraisal of e-learning provision around the world. Additionally, it is an interesting book. The accounts which it presents prompt one to wonder over differences and similarities between situations world-wide (including one’s own, whichever that may be). Above all, though, it is a coherent book. Despite its many and diverse contributors, with varied themes and information to convey, the editor never allows the reader to lose sight of the fact that this is a text which seeks to concentrate consistently upon the promise of its title.
