Produktbeschreibung

This e-book of On the Horizon, edited by Boria Sax, is devoted to new concepts and innovations in higher education, especially online, that may provide impetus for a paradigm shift. In his introduction entitled "e;The Library and the Internet,"e; Boria Sax analyzes the ways in which digital technologies may impact the traditional tension between the realm of books and reality. In "e;The Cafe University,"e; Cornel Reinhart argues that cutting-edge technologies from podcasts to virtual reality do not fit harmoniously with the hierarchic structures of a traditional university. In "e;Can we Talk?"e; Carla Payne and Cornel Reinhart argue that Blackboard, the popular Learning Management System, supports a behaviorist rather than a constructivist approach to learning. In an opinion piece entitled "e;Adaptive Individualization: The Next Generation of Online Education,"e; Nish Sonwalkar proposes a structured system called "e;adaptive learning,"e; which takes account of individual differences among students. Finally, in an article entitled "e;Shift Happens,"e; Tom Abeles discusses what the internationalization of education will mean for the United States.
