A collection of Knowledge and Experience like no other,
By Marianne (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Technology, Open Learning and Distance Education (Routledge Studies in Distance Education) (Paperback)
Bates' comprehensive review is very unique. Anyone interested in a theory for how to select media and technology, including the costs of technology use will surely want to visit this book. Data in the book are becoming outdated (base studies are from th 80's in many cases), but the approach modeled in nonetheless invaluable.
