Globalizing Education: Trends and Applications

Globalising Education is a systematic and thoroughly researched study of how technologies have altered the delivery and reception of education. Mason examines how global education is actually delivered in practice, case studies which investigate current developments and applications in the USA, Europe, the UK and Australia, and conclusions drawn from the issues covered. She studies the huge impact of the World Wide Web on current educational practice, exploring the implications for students, teachers and the larger institutional framework, and provides an important overview of the current technology and the technologies to come.
