The Virtual University provides up-to-date practical advice on a technology-based delivery system that can offer solutions to many of the problems of increasing demand for, and changing expectations about, higher education.
This book discusses the increased accessibility to the Internet, the development of new educational possibilities and how these have led to a variety of resources being used for learning. In clear and accessible terms the authors show how to use web sites, software, and the other resources necessary to design and deliver complete and effective virtual courses. Chapters include valuable information on how to access digital archives and databases, virtual museums, and electronic journals.
The book concludes with an eye to the future of education, and the authors highlight a number of the upcoming issues and debates that all educators will need to be aware of as education enters the next century. (From the Publisher)
