(why?)

Not surprisingly, so much advice about using technology in education is offered by technologists. Barbara DuCharme-Hansen and Pamela Dupin-Bryant’s contribution recognizes adult learning principles and learner-centredness as paramount to effective Web-based education. It is great to see an adult education perspective in this increasingly crowded genre of books that advise educators on effective ways to use technologies in their practice.

I’ve written a complete book review (as opposed to these little book notes) in The International Review of Research in Open and Distance Learning, Vol 7, No 1 (2006).
