Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

You will probably never read this book - as Tony Bates writes, "readers will see the irony of a book on open and distance education which costs US$45 for an electronic version and US$30 to download a single chapter, especially since the authors get no payment from the publisher." But do read this review, which makes an important point (and one I have observed myself): "I am seeing an increasing divergence between the 'old' field of open and distance education, and the newly emergent field of digital learning." The book was edited by Insung Jung.
