"""The chapters provide a coherent and cogently argued overview that is and, although reviewing recent research, provides a framework for looking at the future."" —BJET ""This book is distinguished by its focus on a particular mode of online instruction, the use of asynchronous learning networks (ALNs), which focus on achieving effective learning through interaction and collaboration....highly recommend this book. The issues raised provide a comprehensive set of topics for graduate students to investigate and will stimulate many hours of debate and further investigation....the book also provides a thoughtful and insightful synthesis for scholars, synthesizing a range of knowledge for those new to the field and providing critical insights to those already working in this area."" —AIS SIG-HCI Newsletter ""Hiltz and Goldman have brought together an impressive collection of research from expert sources....the field of online learning would benefit from more works such as 'Learning Online Together'...encourage Hiltz and Goldman to follow up with another volume as the discourse progresses."" —Technical Communication ""Hiltz and Goldman and their collaborators have produced a comprehensive overview of what is known about research and theory in the educational use of asynchronous learning networks. This is a book you will refer to often-for ideas, theories, and references."" —Robin Mason British Open University; Co-author, The Connecticon: Learning for the Connected ""This much needed volume provides an overview and synthesis of leading edge models and research in online education. It is a valuable resource for instructors, a timely reference for policymakers and scholars, and an excellent text for students. Books like this also advance the field to help face-to-face classroom models evolve to include learning distributed across space and time."" —Chris Dede Harvard Graduate School of Education ""...the best collection of information about learning networks that I have seen....The chapters are timely and useful. This [is a] benchmark publication."" —John R. Bourne Olin College"
