Changing Cultures in Higher Education Moving Ahead to Future Learning

Rezension

From the reviews:

“If you are concerned with the unrealized potential of technology to increase the abilities of universities to prepare students for work in the twenty-first century, Ehlers and Schneckenberg’s Changing Cultures in Higher Education: Moving Ahead to Future Learning may be of interest. … Changing Cultures in Higher Education can be a useful resource for those who are interested in strategies and case studies about the use of technology to increase the readiness of our universities to prepare students for work.” (Wayne L. Schmadeka, Technical Communication, Vol. 58 (4), November, 2011)

“This book consists of four sections, each comprising a number of chapters contributed by 55 researchers in the field. … The editors did an excellent job in bringing together significant researchers who dedicate their research to the necessary changes that academia should make in order to maximize educational outcomes in our modern culture of technologically supported learning.” (R. Goldberg, ACM Computing Reviews, June, 2011)
