Description
Book SynopsisHelping to define and inform this growing field, this rich multidisciplinary volume is an ideal reference for graduate students and researchers. It draws on the social sciences, engineering, and computing, as well as on contemporary learning research examining how technology affects learners and learning environments, and social context in learning.
