{"product_id":"computer-mediated-environment-and-learner-support-abed-salem-9781934844083","title":"Computer-Mediated Environment and Learner Support","description":"This study examines the effective use of computer-mediated environments (CME) for online learning, networking, and teach¬ing in the context of Open University course H804, 'The Imple¬mentation of Open and Distance Learning'. He contends that an effective approach requires a learner-centred focus, taking into account the practitioners' views of learner support in open and distance learning. He concentrates on a particular 6-week period when the students were discussing 'learner support in open and distance education', partly because of the importance of learner support in a computer-mediated environment, but more importantly because he believes that this study will yield a richer understanding of what learner support means in a computer-mediated environment. Colleges and universities are well placed to respond to these aspirations by embracing e-learning technologies, because most governments want to raise the education level and skills of their population. E-learning has the potential to transform education at every level; it can make a high-quality educational experience available and extend access to those whose location and economic and personal circumstances have prevented them from pursuing educational goals in the past. These learn¬ers also represent a wider student market for universities and other educational institutions. The common objectives of these institutions are raising quality and standards, meeting diverse needs, widening participation, building skills for employ¬ability, and motivating learners to develop new skills for the 21st century. This book is important for all in education seeking to harnass communication technology to their advantage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abed Salem\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 193484408X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934844083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teneo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/28\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.46h x 5.60w x 0.53d","brand":"Abed Salem","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241569628415,"sku":"9781934844083","price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4fd4d6d-1ac3-4b53-81b3-9a836baa4743.jpg?v=1772655041","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/computer-mediated-environment-and-learner-support-abed-salem-9781934844083","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
