Reviews

At a time when higher education is struggling to take advantage of the many technological innovations available to it, this timely and thought-provoking 2nd edition of E-tivities envisions a new way to deliver curriculum. The book is written in a user friendly and accessible style, challenging thinking not to merely shift from 'traditional' teaching to technologically supported learning, but to re-think the learning process and conceptualise content and delivery differently, in an e-form. Making a sound conceptual argument, the author makes exceptional use of case studies and guided thinking for the development of e-tivities, including the use of open educational resources. This is a must read not only for the practitioner wanting to change, but for institutional leaders as well. -Craig Mahoney, Chief Executive, Higher Education Academy, UK

With even more e-tivities and wise advice, built on years of experience, this second edition will have us all going back for more, to further improve our online teaching and support. -Diana Laurillard, Professor of Learning with Digital Technology, London Knowledge Lab, Institute of Education, UK
