The Book in Two Parts

Part one of the book pays particular attention to all the aspects related to institutionalised approaches to distance education and e-learning, the reform and development through sustained social and educational policies and practices.

The second part of the book explores the continued impact of ICT on teaching and learning. The articles assembled here span over eight years reflecting on an evolving process, even if not a consistent one. We can through these papers witness the change in the ways actors in the field of distance and e-learning have engaged with ICT, and how researchers have examined the new technologies and how they have evolved conceptual analyses.
