The latest edition of E-Learning in the 21st Century examines e-learning from the perspectives of advancing research, instructional practice, and institutional readiness. D. Randy Garrison, perhaps the prominent scholar and thought leader on e-learning, provides thought-provoking perspectives for scholars, educators, and administrators. I was highly impressed with his ability to direct practical suggestions to each of these constituencies. --Ben Arbaugh, Department Chair, Management and Human Resources, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, USA In the third edition of E-Learning in the 21st Century, D. Randy Garrison focuses more sharply on the Community of Inquiry framework and the ways in which it can inform research and practice in e-learning. As always, Garrison's insights are grounded in thoughtful and thought-provoking research findings. Newcomers to online learning and longtime fans of the Community of Inquiry framework alike will find much to value in this volume. --Karen Swan, Stukel Professor of Educational Leadership, University of Illinois Springfield, USA

The latest edition of E-Learning in the 21st Century examines e-learning from the perspectives of advancing research, instructional practice, and institutional readiness. D. Randy Garrison adroitly argues for the continuing simplicity of the original CoI theoretical framework in response to emerging added dimensions, wisely presents the dangers of placing technologies ahead of designing learning experiences, clearly provides practical guidance for implementing each of the CoI elements in online course settings, vigorously challenges leaders in higher education to adopt principles for leading educational experiences from the CoI as they seek to develop innovate solutions for their institutions, and engagingly illumines what the future may hold for each. Randy, perhaps the prominent scholar and thought leader on e-learning, provides thought-provoking perspectives for scholars, educators, and administrators. I was highly impressed with his ability to direct practical suggestions to each of these constituencies. --Ben Arbaugh, Department Chair, Management and Human Resources, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh, USA
