OverviewCyberspace theory provides fascinating insights into the changes we are experiencing culturally, socially and politically purely as a result of the increase in use of online learning materials. This book draws upon these insights to provide a challenging new angle on current thinking in eLearning and to open up new avenues of exploration in our understanding of it and its role in the teaching and learning of the future. The wide-ranging contributions to this fascinating and cutting edge text offer a fresh and invigorating perspecive on the impact of digital technologies in today's higher education institutes. They also draw on some startling conclusions on lesser-known concerns such as surveillance, and what happens when Vygotskian theory is applied to online learning.
