Reviews
While not born in the Covid period, this book emerges within it ... . It contains a number of richly described and helpfully theorized accounts of what online education involves, the challenges that will be faced, and of how it can be made to work well for both learners and teachers. As such, I hope that it will now be noticed and read by many more people because of their newfound 'online' concern and experience. (Hamish Macleod, Postdigital Science and Education, Vol. 4, 2022)
