Seminal book for HE Rating (5) Date: 2005-08-01 6 out of 7 customers found this reveiw helpful Because the work is research-based and driven by pedagogy rather than technology, this book should find its way onto the shelves of anyone interested in intelligent discourses about distributed elearning. Garrison and Anderson address the issue from a sociological and philosphical perspective as well as offering models of practice, avoiding case studies but clearly drawing on their experience as practitioners and researchers. Their suggestion of the importance of teaching, cognitive and social "presence" is well developed and offers much in the way of reassurance to anyone anxious that the drivers for online teaching and learning within HE are about saving time and money!

Worth reading but one-sided Rating (3) Date: 2003-11-17 13 out of 16 customers found this reveiw helpful A relatively short book that is certainly worth reading because it sums-up a particular way of thinking amongst higher education e-learning providers. But, be aware that much of what is written is based on opinion, not fact, and that the philosophical bias contained is only one way of approaching the subject.
