Biography

Harold F. O'Neil, Ray S. Perez

"This volume provides a discussion by researchers in education, both civilian and military, about an education delivery system that has been maturing for at least a decade. Recommended. Graduate students through practitioners."
—CHOICE

"...a useful read for those who wish to explore this rich and complex area and, through their explorations, add clarity to the diversity of voices currently representing the field."
—PsycCRITIQUES

"The topic of this book is timely and addresses a need to step back from the flurry of Web-based instruction activity and assess where we are in the field and where we are going."
—Barbara Grabowski
Pennsylvania State University

"...a valuable addition to the literature on Web-based learning..this volume is unique in its emphasis on a national research agenda, which weaves together research and policy issues."
—J. Michael Spector
Florida State University

"The book shows us the wide range of research issues and future possible developments of web-based learning. I recommend it highly for graduate students of educational technology and researchers in web-based learning."
