Overview

The third edition of this award-winning Handbook continues the mission of its predecessors: to provide a comprehensive compendium of research in all aspects of distance education, arguably the most significant development in education over the past three decades. While the book deals with education that uses technology, the focus is on teaching and learning and how its management can be facilitated through technology. Key features include:

Comprehensive coverage that includes all aspects of distance education, including design, instruction, management, policy, and a section on different audiences.
Chapter authors frame their topic in terms of empirical research (past and present) and discuss the nature of current practice in terms of that research. Future research needs are discussed in relation to both confirmed practice and recent changes in the field.
Section one provides a unique review of the theories that support distance education pedagogy.
Section six includes a unique review of distance education as a component of global culture.

This book will be of interest to anyone engaged in distance education at any level. It is also appropriate for corporate and government trainers and for administrators and policy makers in all these environments.

Editorial Reviews

"This Handbook is the most comprehensive book we have seen that aims to set out what is known in commissioned chapters on aspects of distance education....Taken as a whole, the Handbook is a voluminous resource. There are some excellent chapters that provide a useful synthesis of knowledge on a topic, following the three questions posed by Moore. The bibliographic reference are extensive and will direct the reader to useful resources on the different topics....In summary, this Handbook...should be part of any personal or institutional library collection on distance education."
—Distance Education
"The editors have compiled a text that provides a comprehensive look at the field of distance education. The book contains historical perspectives, a good grounding of theory and pedagogy interspersed with real life experiences, and a glimpse into future research directions. The index and organization provide an easy way to search and find relevant articles. Any researcher in distance education will find this a good companion."
—The Internet and Higher Education
"This Handbook will...become an important and basic part of the literacture of distance in the early years of the twenty-first century; and...a generation of graduate students will be grateful to those who had the courage to produce it."
—Open Learning
"The Handbook of Distance Education provides an excellent overview of the field of distance education, covering the most significant trends and topics in the subject during the past quarter century....is impressive in its scope and contents, and it is sure to become an indispensible resource for researchers and faculty in classes covering the current status of distance education. The book will also be useful to distance education librarians or anyone else wanting a comprehensive overview of the current state of distance education in the United States."
