- Summary:
- Online Education Policy and Practice: The Past, Present, and Future of the Digital University provides an in-depth look at the formation and development of online education in American higher education. Establishing online education as part of the evolution of instructional technology and tracing in detail its pre-Internet beginnings in the 1990s, the book examines major developments in the field such as fully online courses and programs, blended learning, and the rise and fall of the MOOC phenomenon. Cautious yet optimistic speculation follows the digital university into the immediate and more distant future. Policymakers, administrators, educators, private funders interested in higher education, and faculty-who will be most affected by the changes brought about by distance learning technologies in the coming years-will find a complete treatment of the past, present, and future of online education.
