Working with Experience
Whilst much is known about teaching and being taught, less attention is given to the learner in context - in particular, to learning outside the classroom. This book brings together experiences of a number of practitioners.
Supporting Lifelong Learning: Perspectives on learning
This Open University Reader examines the practices of learning and teaching which have been developed to support lifelong learning, and the understanding and assumptions which underpin them. The selection of texts trace the widening scope of academic understanding of learning and teaching, and considers the implications for those who develop programmes of learning. It examines in great depth those theories which have had the greatest impact in the field, theories of reflection and learning from experience and theories of situated learning. The implications of these theories ar examined in relation to themes which run across the reader, namely, workplace learning, literacies, and the possibilities offered by information and communication technologies. The particular focus of this Reader is on the psychological or cognitive phenomena that happen in the minds of individual learners. The readings have been selected to represent a range of experience in different sectors of education from around the globe.
Technology and In/equality
Technology and In/equality explores the diverse implications of the new information and communication technologies through case studies of their applications in three main areas - media, education and training, and work. Questions of access to and control over crucial resources such as information, knowledge, skills and income ae addressed drawing upon insights from science and technology studies, innovation theory, sociology and cultural studies. All of the chapters question the meanings of the terms 'technology' and 'inequality' and of the widespread association of technology with progress. Written with a non-specialist readership in mind, all complex theories and key concepts are carefully explained making the book easily accessible and relevant to a wide range of courses.
Sustaining Urban Networks
Considering sustainability in its economic, environmental and social contexts, the contributors take stock of previous research on large technical systems and discuss their sustainability from three main perspectives: uses, cities, and rules and institutions.

The Diana Directive
For ten long years after the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, freelance journalist John Newcombe had investigated the incident, always believing it was a murder. Prior to revealing his evidence to the world, John makes one last pilgrimage to Paris to retrace Diana's final journey. Just before he leaves the Ritz Hotel, John sends an email to Kimberley Ashbourne - a reporter for the Halifax Times of Nova Scotia - that includes clues to his theory. Replicating the same route Diana had on that fateful night, John also dies in a horrifying car crash. Kimberley sets out with her boyfriend Hunter to unravel the mystery surrounding John's death. With M16 not wanting to re-ignite a Diana murder frenzy, they send an agent, Sebastian Cole, to close the case quickly and quietly. Like Kimberly, Sebastian questions John's death and begins his own investigation. International intrigue, involving a secret society, is revealed. What startling circumstances will come to light? Will Kimberly and Sebastian uncover the answer behind both Diana and John's deaths?
