This unique book analyzes the work of over forty pioneers who helped drive key changes in access to higher education, via distance education. It examines how they defined their challenges, coped with traditionalist resistance, developed new teaching and learning models, and, above all, respected adult learners’ goals and contexts.
"It is both uplifting and challenging. It offers tales of great persistence, self-belief and belief in the community of learners these pioneers were seeking to engage with and influence. It is a wonderful narrative which should be compulsory reading for all those aspiring to influence the shape and content of post-secondary education in their own nations." Widening Participation and Lifelong Learning "Quite simply, this is essential and inspiring reading to prepare the next generation to lead distance education."

Die Geschlechterperspektive gerät gegenwärtig stärker in den Vordergrund, sie löst die Frauenperspektive ab - oder besser - macht deshalb die Frauenperspektive zu einem unverzichtbaren Bereich in allen Gesellschafts- und Bildungsfeldern. So zum Beispiel diffundiert die Frauenbildung besonders stark in die Gesundheitsbildung und in neue Ansätze zur Managementausbildung. Vorgeblich geschlechtsneutrale Fragen scheint es immer weniger zu geben. Damit gewinnt die Frauenbildung indirekt neues Terrain. Besondere Unterstützungskraft bekommt diese Sichtweise noch durch die zunehmende Einrichtung von Studiengängen zum Geschlechterverhältnis. Das Handbuch bietet eine Orientierung über den Forschungsstand, das breite Praxisfeld der Frauenbildung und Fragen des Geschlechterverhältnisses in der Erwachsenen- und Weiterbildung. Außerdem werden Vernetzungen zu anderen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen dargestellt.
The second edition of this award-winning book continues the mission of its predecessor, to provide a comprehensive compendium of research in all aspects of distance education, arguably the most significant development in education over the past quarter century. 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. This volume will be of interest to anyone engaged in distance education at either the K-12 or college level. It is also appropriate for corporate and government trainers and for administrators and policy makers in all these environments.
The Encyclopedia of Female Pioneers of Online Learning is the first volume to explore the lives and scholarship of women who have prominently advanced online learning. From its humble origins as distance education courses conducted via postal correspondence to today’s advances in the design and delivery of dynamic, technology-enhanced instruction, the ever-evolving field of online learning continues to be informed by the seminal research and institutional leadership of women. This landmark book details 30 preeminent female academics, including some of the first to create online courses, design learning management systems, research innovative topics such as discourse analysis or open resources, and speak explicitly about gender parity in the field. Offering comprehensive career profiles, original interviews, and research analyses, these chapters are illuminating on their own right while amounting to an essential combination of reference material and primary source.
