'This reviewer was struck by the very practical and user-friendly writing by these educators who are making technology work in their institutions...The book is readable and offers useful background and an excellent bibliography for all that seek to implement communications technology in their environment...For those who perceive technology as a threat to the traditional university, the authors offer comfort in the midst of dramatic change.' -- Teaching Theology & Religion
