Overview

To improve the cost effectiveness and sustainability of e-learning, many national and international initiatives are pioneering new ways in which educators can share their curricula with teachers and learners around the world. To enable this global sharing, educators must learn to design, manage and implement reusable electronic educational resources. This unique book outlines approaches to sharing and reusing resources for e-learning. Drawing upon research by 30 prominent scholars from seven countries, the authors offer multiple perspectives from school, continuing and higher education as well as industry. It is essential reading for those implementing e-learning in education and corporate training, including teachers, trainers, academics, educational developers and support staff as well as senior managers.

'This is a book that can be turned to time and time again. It should, and probably will, end up on the shelf of everyone who is developing and managing e-learning and wondering how to get more out of the available resources and reconstitute their parts into new wholes.' - Colin Latchem, British Journal of Educational Technology 'This is essential reading for all those involved in the development or management of e-learning .' - Professor Heather Eggins, Director, UK Society for Research into Higher Education

'The editor and her co-authors ask the important questions, provide state-of-the-art answers, and most importantly, provide directions for an enhanced e-learning research and development agenda.' Professor Tom Reeves, Professor of Instructional Technology, The University of Georgia 'Without the ability to share resources across boundaries, both geographic and logical, the true potential of e-learning will never be achieved. Dr Allison Littlejohn has assembled a list of contributions that reads like a Who's Who of e-learning researchers... I would recommend the book to anyone who wishes to understand how technology can enable us to make huge new strides in increasing learning opportunities across the world.' Sir Anthony Cleaver, Chairman of UK eUniversities Worldwide
