This volume collects some of the papers presented at the 16th IARTEM Conference held in Florence in April 2022. It was a ’difficult conference’, held at a time when the pandemic was still present, and therefore an important opportunity to resume a dialogue that seemed to have been interrupted. The richness of the content, which is the result of the reflections of authors from all over the world, allows us to provide a precise scenario of the research state of art in the field of textbooks and digital resources for teaching.
Estamos en un tiempo de tránsito entre la escuela moderna del siglo xx y la escuela líquida de la sociedad digital. Uno de los fenómenos destacables es que los materiales didácticos tradicionales, especialmente los libros de texto, tienen que convivir y combinarse con una nueva generación de materiales didácticos digitales y accesibles en línea en la Red. ¿Qué características tiene esta nueva tipología de materiales didácticos? ¿Cómo se están distribuyendo en la Red desde las administraciones y las empresas editoriales? ¿Qué opinan el profesorado, las familias y los productores de dichos materiales? ¿Cómo se usan pedagógicamente en los centros y aulas escolares?

Online Distance Education: Towards a Research Agenda offers a systematic overview of the major issues, trends, and areas of priority in online distance education research. In each chapter, an international expert or team of experts provides an overview of one timely issue in online distance education, summarizing major research on the topic, discussing theoretical insights that guide the research, posing questions and directions for future research, and discussing the implications for distance education practice as a whole. Intended as a primary reference and guide for distance educators, researchers, and policymakers, Online Distance Education addresses aspects of distance education practice that have often been marginalized, including issues of cost and economics, concerns surrounding social justice, cultural bias, the need for faculty professional development, and the management and growth of learner communities. At once soundly empirical and thoughtfully reflective, yet also forward-looking and open to new approaches to online and distance teaching, this text is a solid resource for researchers in a rapidly expanding discipline.
