Preface
This book provides an introduction to research in learning with technology in classrooms, online and outdoors. Written by leading international researchers, it covers foundational theories and methods as well as recent research into learning in virtual worlds and in social networks. It also discusses social issues and implications such as whether widening access to digital technologies will decrease or increase inequality in education. Each chapter in the book covers one theme in technology-enhanced learning (TEL), discussing and expanding on four foundational research papers in that theme. The chapters, plus the introduction chapter, can be read as a primer for people new to the field of TEL (also called “e-learning”, “educational technology” or “cyber-learning”).
