Its key insight is that outcomes are determined by a variety of factors beyond the media utilized, including objectives, context, implementation, and participants' characteristics. --Chris Dede, Timothy E. Wirth Professor in Learning Technologies, Harvard Graduate School of Education, USA Learning Online provides timely and sorely needed details on the state of the art in online learning and its future. The authors share current examples from kindergarten through higher education that are difficult if not impossible to find. They critically explain what research does and does not tell us. I enthusiastically recommend the book to anyone working with technology to improve education, especially startup teams who desperately need to understand the lay of the land. --Alan Louie, Alan Louie, Founder of Imagine K12 Author InformationDr. Barbara Means directs the Center for Technology in Learning at SRI International.
