Reviews

This book is a very useful addition to the literature of contemporary educational and social change at its interface with technology, and specifically new information and communications technology, in enhancing the processes of teaching and learning in higher education. The 11 chapters, in concert, provide the serious reader with a reflective critique of the potentials of new information technology in supporting and promoting structural educational change in tertiary education. This is addressed across a broad range of viewpoints provided by the contributors who are all experienced tertiary educators drawn from such fields as administration, instructional and learning design and educational technology. -British Journal of Educational Psychology In and enlightening manner, the esteemed authors address a timely topic to aid academics in their quest for revising learning methods at their institutions....Goodman talks about the disconnect between research and education in many universities. His book is an attempt to bridge that gap. To this end, he has been very successful. -Personnal Psychology Psychologists working in universities find this book most useful in their role as teachers, particularly if they are considering finding ways to use technology to enhance their teaching...The book may also be useful to psychologists more generally as members of a university community. For example, it provides important food for thought as it raises important questions about the inertia of our system of higher education and the dangers inherent in attempts to maintain traditional ways of operating in the midst of a rapidly changing environment. -Contemporary Psychology, APA REVIEW OF BOOKS ...every chapter in Technology Enhanced Learning is clearly explained. -Studies in Higher Education
