Summary:
"The Digital Revolution and the Coming of the Postmodern University
shows how the internet, high-speed electronic communications, and
personal computers necessitate a radical rethinking of what is meant
by 'higher education'. The book calls into question both the
traditionalist's sceptism about the benefits of new technology and
the corporate e-learning advocate's failure to grasp that education
is more than what happens on a computer screen. The author provides
concrete data and models for more democratic, restructured systems of
instruction that not only take advantage of advanced learning
technologies, but promote the globalization of higher
education."--BOOK JACKET.
