Technology, Open Learning and Distance Education (Routledge Studies in Distance Education) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This valuable guide to the selection and use of modern technologies for open and flexible learning argues that technology is not inherently good or bad for teaching--it is the way teachers and administrators use it that matters.
Since knowing when or if to use technology is not just an issue of choosing the appropriate technology, Tony Bates presents a set of criteria which can help in the decision-making process: How accessible is the technology? What is the cost? What are the best teaching applications? How easy is it to use? What changes in the organization need to be made? How new is it? How quickly can courses be mounted with this technology?
Applying the framework to technologies ranging from print, radio and telephone teaching to computer-based learning and multimedia, the book analyzes their strengths and weaknesses and offers a comprehensive cost analysis for each.
