Description
Online Education for Lifelong Learning, by Yukiko Inoue (Ed.) (Hershey PA: Information Science Publishing, 2007, 325 pages, $96.00). Yukiko Inoue situates Online Education for Lifelong Learning in the context of the research of Richardson and Swan (2003), who noted the effects of distance learning on increasing opportunities for learners as well as increasing challenges to educators in online learning environments, given the lack of face-to-face interactions so crucial to effective learning. For the most part, the field has moved beyond these early comparisons to face-to-face learning to a current recognition that online education for lifelong learning presents unique challenges and opportunities as new and emerging technologies continue to augment and supplant the old. Online Education for Lifelong Learning is a collection of chapters by diverse authors addressing current issues in the nexus between online education and lifelong learning, as college and university faculty acquire new approaches and innovative technologies to meet the challenges and realize the opportunities.
