'I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is considering introducing e-learning into higher education - whether teacher, educational developer, policy-maker or researcher ... The book makes a significant contribution to the argument that e-learning provides the opporunity to embrace dialogic and constructivist approaches to teaching and learning in higher education' - Innovations in Education and Teaching International
'this book offers an intellectually robust analysis of what the role of the teacher can and should be in development and maintenance of a successful 'learning' centred, supportive critical communities of inquirers; and for this the book is to be highly recommended both to the readers engaged in e-learning and to the wider educational community.' - Escalate
' an outstanding discussion of the fundamentals of e-learning in the 21st century. The book is everything the authors promise basic, useful and a valuable reference guide.' - Teachers College Record
'this book is perhaps most useful as supplementary reading for those wishing to further their understanding of collaborative e-learning pedagogy.' - Robert Ward, LTSN-ICS website
'I intend to use Garrison and Anderson's work. As E-Learning Development Manager in my institution, and still teaching on undergraduate social science and postgraduate education programmes, it will be valuable on several fronts- attempting to bring about strategic change, working with staff groups on e-learning development and interacting with students.' - Bob Rotherham, Nottingham Trent University, in LATISS 1, 2004
