Opis

Transactional Distance and Adaptive Learning takes a fresh look at one of the pioneering educational theories that accommodates the impact of information and communications technologies in learning. The theory of transactional distance provides a road map for designing more effective management systems that are conducive to resolving the issues that have challenged colleges and universities in recent years. Analyzing the transactions between teachers and learners in terms of curriculum, interaction, and personal variables, this book addresses a wide range of praxis, from envisioning the future of colleges to designing adaptive learning systems for instruction and learning. This pragmatic yet transformational approach meets the conditions and challenges faced by faculty, students, and administrators who plan and implement complex, dynamic higher education systems.
