Tele-learning

The technology that allows the communication of ideas and information through an electronic medium (such as a computer or a television) has transformed when, where and how we learn. This book shows that tele-learning - making connections between people and resources by sending and receiving signals through carriers such as wire, cables and air for learning-related purposes - is a multi-faceted phenomena, using and affecting many different types of people, and offering us an opportunity to develop new pedagogies and improve old ways of learning. Intended for professionals in educational technology, training and planning, online service providers and trainers, and students interested in computers and education.
