Review title: Outdated
Product review: This collection of articles attempts to discuss some of the issues of distance learning today. It's a hit and miss collection, though. Perhaps the most useful are the articles on providing learner support, but these are offset by some severely out-of-date technology issues. The technology recommendations are museum relics (enjoy screenshots from Windows 3.1), and the reality of technology in education is a bit different than is described here. To add to the irritation, you have to read pre-tech-bubble type articles in which the coming "information superhighway" will solve most of the problems in distance education. That sort of pollyannaism has proven to be a little overly-optimistic. Skip this book and find a more up-to-date one.
