This broad reaching collection of essays on e-learning examines accomplishments, new directions, and challenges from many perspectives. The essays are arranged in categories, which include e-learning and e-learners, teaching and instruction, student engagement, learning communities, outcomes assessment and institutional leadership, all of which relate to learners and programs from college, K 12, career, to corporate training. Of special interest is a focus on successful outcomes for students and programs, and essays on often overlooked niches of learners, including generational differences (Gamers, Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Y), stay at home mothers, working mother e-learners, homeschoolers, bilingual online education and training.
E-learning is covered, along with mobile learning, and the use of simulations, virtual worlds, serious games, and more.
Very useful approaches to studying online, and developing effective success strategies make the articles helpful to students and instructors.
