I cannot gush enough about the usefulness and timeliness of this important book published this month by the Commonwealth of Learning. A sweeping overview of the major trends and issues in online learning, this volume is overflowing with examples and descriptions, filled with incisive observations and sharp analysis, and brimming with evocative issues and points of view. A must-read for any person in the field, and recommended as a standard text for any course introducing students to the world of online learning. The entire text is available online in PDF format. I have also provided individual links and descriptions for each of the eight chapters. Edited by Glen Farrell, The Commonwealth of Learning, July, 2001.
