Technology and the Politics of Instruction

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Departing from the mainstream research on instructional technology to focus on mundane and widespread forms of CMI-PowerPoint slides, CD-ROMs, self-paced labs, and the like-Nespor views these from multiple standpoints, not just what they mean for professors, but also for administrators and students. The effect is to displace the typical emphasis in CMI research from cutting-edge, high resource artifacts and systems (the importance of which is not questioned) to the politics and organizational processes that shape the uses of such things.

Presents the study of computer-mediated instruction in a US research university that is the site of nationally known innovations in this area. This book traces the organizational entanglements of a constantly reconfiguring network of people, things, categories, and ideas that are sometimes loosely, sometimes tightly entangled in forms of CMI.
