The digital revolution and the coming of the postmodern university

"The Digital Revolution and the Coming of the Postmodern University shows how the internet, high-speed electronic communications, and personal computers necessitate a radical rethinking of what is meant by 'higher education'. The book calls into question both the traditionalist's sceptism about the benefits of new technology and the corporate e-learning advocate's failure to grasp that education is more than what happens on a computer screen. The author provides concrete data and models for more democratic, restructured systems of instruction that not only take advantage of advanced learning technologies, but promote the globalization of higher education."--Jacket.
