Strategies for Sustainable Open and Distance Learning: World Review of Distance Education and Open Learning: Volume 6

Adaptability and the ability to handle rapid and ongoing change are essential for successfully managing any modern educational enterprise, and open and distance learning is no exception. In an often over-looked field, this volume examines the nature of sustainability in open and distance learning using case material from a wide range of current educational contexts worldwide. The books themes include: reflection and analysis of the management of change collaboration staff development quality assurance and funding in an increasingly globalized environment. This book also reassesses the core processes involved in course development, delivery, and student support, in a world that is both linked and divided by access to the latest technologies. In a rapidly changing world, this book shows how the path from policy to sustainable practice is rarely easy. However, through consistent attention and commitment to meeting the needs of learners, sustainability can be achieved.Additional ISBNs041534526X, 9780415345262, 0203537203, 1134282974, 9780203537206, 9781134282975Strategies for Sustainable Open and Distance Learning: World Review of Distance Education and Open Learning: Volume 6 1st Edition is written by Hope, Andrea; Guiton, Patrick and published by Routledge.
