E-portfolios are a valuable learning and assessment tool. They can serve as an administrative tool to manage and organise work, to present course assignments and act as the medium for learners to record their learning goals, outcomes and achievements. They encourage personal reflection and involve the exchange of ideas and feedback.

Electronic technologies can be used to facilitate educational exchanges between people in three ways - by writing, by speaking and listening, and by displaying and seeing. In other words, by text, audio and video. For this analysis of the powerful impact new technologies are likely to have on education, Robin Mason has chosen computer conferencing, audiographics and videoconferencing as the prime examples of such media. Destined to combine eventually as multimedia desktop conferencing, the three systems are at present quite distinct. Mason looks at each in turn, highlighting benefits and...

This book makes the case that the changes brought about by the connectivity of the Internet have so transformed the nature of post secondary learning that we need to view it differently. Both the content and the processes of learning have been profoundly altered because of the accessibility of information and the multi-way interactivity provided by the Internet.

There is a misty-eyed vision of Bhutan which has popularized it as 'the last Shangri-la', the hidden Himalayan jewel, the travel destination of celebrities and unique-experience-hunters. We are not entirely comfortable with this image. Bhutan has undoubtedly become the focus of considerable media attention in the last few years. Articles appear regularly on its substitution of happiness for money as the indicator of the country's wealth. Television programs, books, visits by personalities - all have served to bring Bhutan to global awareness. This attention only serves to increase pressure on...
