Dr. Tracey Wilen Book: .edu: Technology and Learning Environments in Higher Education


The Internet has transformed higher education by changing the way universities and colleges teach students. As a result, many institutions are struggling to understand how the next generation of Internet technologies, including Web 2.0, multimedia, virtual presence, gaming, and the proliferation of mobile devices, will impact their students and infrastructures. .edu: Technology and Learning Environments in Higher Education explores how higher education institutions can use these technologies to enable learning environments. In the future, students will have complete access to any higher education resource, including expert scholars, lectures, readings, courseware, collaborative dialogues, information exchanges, hands-on learning, and research, no matter where they are located. When fully enabled, this new learning environment will blur the lines between on- and off-campus experiences and remove barriers to learning and research, greatly improving the accessibility and quality of education globally.
