Distance learning offers unprecedented access to higher education, to people from all walks of life. A person can now easily take a college-level course without ever setting foot on campus or meeting with his or her professor face to face. Well-credentialed authors collaborate in "Distance Learners in Higher Education", designed to give faculty unique perspectives on a variety of issues in higher education today. Edited by Chere Campbell Gibson, this volume encompasses the full realm of teaching and learning at a distance from both an administrative and faculty viewpoint. Connecting the demographics of the distance learner, cultural considerations, academic self-concept and support, and learning strategies, "Distance Learners" is of interest to faculty and administrators in higher education. This book focuses on the learner and the conditions for learning, and is essential for those who need to stay current in this rapidly changing area. Introduction by Michael Moore. - from Amzon
