The book highlights the inadequate attention given to pedagogical frameworks and educational development perspectives in discussions about online learning. It reviews the apparent “technology over drive” in higher education agendas that are influenced by corporate greed rather than by pedagogical need. The author encourages a balanced focus on the use of technology in learning. Technologies, when carefully selected to add value to learning and to provide learners with alternative media to engage in learning, are expected to enhance learning. If embedded technologies do not enhance the learning experience, we have to question their inclusion in learning design. From this perspective, online learning

* Embraces pedagogy as a framework and key focus

* Supports the inclusion of technology as an additional component to enhance learning (Imprint: Nova)

Reviews

“Fay Patel’s edited Online Learning: An Educational Development Perspective is an impassioned and convincing argument for the integration of pedagogy with technology, and the partnering of educators, educational developers and instructional designers, to ensure optimal, innovative online learning for students. Drawing on existing research and their own experiences, Patel and her fellow contributors are positing that technology should not be considered a simple panacea for all that currently ails higher education.” <a href=”https://novapublishers.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Book-Review-Online-Learning-An-Educational-Development-Perspective-Sheffield.pdf” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>READ MORE… – Suzanne Le-May Sheffield, Ph.D., Director, Centre for Learning and Teaching, Dalhousie University, Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
