Web-Based Learning: Theory, Research, and Practice explores the state of the art in the research and use of technology in education and training from a learning perspective. This edited book is divided into three major sections:
*Policy, Practice, and Implementation Issues -- an overview of policy issues, as well as tools and designs to facilitate implementation of Web-based learning;
*Theory and Research Issues -- a look at theoretical foundations of current and future Web-based learning; the section also includes empirical studies of Web-based learning; and
*Summary and Conclusions -- highlights key issues in each chapter and outlines a research and development agenda.

Within this framework the book addresses several important issues, including: the primacy of learning as a focus for technology; the need to integrate technology with high standards and content expectations; the paucity of and need to support the development of technology-based curriculum and tools; the need to integrate assessment in technology and improve assessment through the use of technology; and the need for theory-driven research and evaluation studies to increase our knowledge and efficacy.

Web-Based Learning is designed for professionals and graduate students in the educational technology, human performance, assessment and evaluation, vocational/technical, and educational psychology communities.

Industry Reviews

"This volume provides a discussion by researchers in education, both civilian and military, about an education delivery system that has been maturing for at least a decade. Recommended. Graduate students through practitioners."
-CHOICE

"...a useful read for those who wish to explore this rich and complex area and, through their explorations, add clarity to the diversity of voices currently representing the field."
-PsycCRITIQUES

"The topic of this book is timely and addresses a need to step back from the flurry of Web-based instruction activity and assess where we are in the field and where we are going."
-Barbara Grabowski
Pennsylvania State University

"...a valuable addition to the literature on Web-based learning..this volume is unique in its emphasis on a national research agenda, which weaves together research and policy issues."
-J. Michael Spector
Florida State University

"The book shows us the wide range of research issues and future possible developments of web-based learning. I recommend it highly for graduate students of educational technology and researchers in web-based learning."

--British Journal of Educational Technology; Vol 38 No 6 2007
