The technologies of the Internet, multimedia and telecommunications generally have generated a rapid shift to the use of Web-based delivery for learning materials – offering extended choices in the place and time of delivery of training. This book introduces and addresses the issues of digitally led education and provides not only an overview of the developments in this important field, but a comprehensive guide to the issues, principles, best practices and skills required to succeed in the new digital education age. It provides accessible coverage of key technical issues and is clearly organised so that themes and issues can be traced through. This is helpful in supporting organisational decision making around these new training opportunities. Though essential reading only for those directly involved, it provides a useful resource for a much wider range of managers, teachers, developers, technicians and trainers who are in some way involved with delivering teaching or training material digitally, with developing and using the new knowledge media or with improving training within their own organisations.
