"With the growing importance of open and distance education around the world, this unique and comprehensive overview integrates historical, contemporary and future aspects of distance education. Packed with international case studies, the author goes beyond describing the methods, media and technicalities of learning and teaching in distance education by also dealing with the sociological and psychological implications and the cultural conditions."--BOOK JACKET. "This work is a major contribution to our thinking on open and distance education and provides an international perspective evaluating concepts of distance education in European, American and Asian countries. Building on his extensive experience of research and practice, Professor Peters explores many paradigmatic models, which look at current practice and will influence future thinking. He examines the legacy of distance education and explores the impact of digitalization on its practice and theory."--BOOK JACKET. "This book is essential reading for academics involved in open or distance learning in schools and further and higher education as well as policy makers and students; it will inspire them to consider important theoretical aspects and current thinking on the topic."--BOOK JACKET.
