This book contains contributions about the past, present and future of e-learning in twelve European countries. The papers are written by experts about their respective countries, together with one paper that deals with the subject from a transnational perspective. The main question treated and answered in this book is how digital media has contributed to Higher Education Development in different national contexts. Beyond a mere description of the situation in different countries, the socio-technical approach adopted in this book also offers the opportunity to make comparisons and thus fosters understanding between experts from different disciplines and cultures. This book takes stock of a decade of digital media in Higher Education in Europe by presenting a first comparative approach and encouraging discussion by adopting a relativist rather than a generalist approach. Readers are thus stimulated to envisage how e-learning might have developed in their own work and learning context and to shape how it may do so.
"Geschichten" konnten zahlreiche Potenziale für die historische Erzählung diskutiert werden: Die Veranschaulichung von Gleichzeitigkeiten, begehbare Multiperspektivität und Einsicht in die Vernetztheit von Wissensbeständen (Diskurs), - u.a. diese Potenziale wurden im Kontext von postmodernem Wissensbegriff, Modus 2, Hypertext und der historischen Erzählung thematisiert.
Im Schatten prestigereicher, ressourcenintensiver Projekte des E-Learning erarbeiteten sich viele Hochschulen unspektakuläre, solide und breitenwirksame Massnahmen und Modelle des Einsatzes von Bildungstechnologien. Diesen weniger spektakulären, aber für eine Universität sehr wichtigen Ansätzen soll in diesem Band mehr Sichtbarkeit verliehen werden. Bewusst werden ganz alltägliche Innovationen aus den Bereichen 'Strategie und Reformen zur Verankerung von E-Learning', 'Integration von E-Learning in den Lehralltag' und 'Qualitätsverbesserung' vorgestellt.

In this open access edited volume, international researchers of the field describe and discuss the systematic review method in its application to research in education. Alongside fundamental methodical considerations, reflections and practice examples are included and provide an introduction and overview on systematic reviews in education research.
What exactly are the characteristics of honors pedagogy? What are the teaching strategies that are particularly relevant and successful for academically gifted and motivated students? In spite of the substantial body of literature about the practice of honors education, largely referring to the United States, very little systematic and empirical research has been done about honors pedagogy. This study contributes to a better understanding of honors pedagogies, focusing not just on what might distinguish honors teaching and learning from standard expectations and methodologies but also on how honors pedagogy offers both instructors and students an opportunity to fundamentally rethink their philosophy of education. The present study points out the similar and different approaches and dispositions in American and Dutch honors teaching. Cultural differences, distinctive educational systems, and diverse priorities play a role in defining both the shared and unique perspectives on honors education in both countries. Therefore, a baseline comparison is made between American and Dutch honors teachers with respect to their teaching strategies.
