Reviews

Learning to write effectively contributes to our fundamental knowledge of how we learn to write in many different contexts and how this is changing with the advent of new technology. The book adds to our knowledge, and it does so from an unusual-European-perspective. Researchers in the field will find it a useful resource for finding out what is going on and for making contact with European colleagues. James Hartley, British Journal of Educational Technology, vol. 44, no. 2, pp. 70-71.
