Description

In The Tower under Siege Brian Lewis, Christine Massey, and Richard Smith explore these important themes and issues from the varying perspectives of students, teachers, policy makers, and administrators. They describe the opportunities, changes, and policies developing in Canadian universities and governments in response to the education revolution. While most studies of the education revolution tend to be highly polemical, The Tower under Siege occupies a middle space, identifying issues and policy processes used to manage change and create more opportunities for education. The Tower under Siege will be of great interest to anyone concerned with, excited about, or worried by the expanding role of technology in higher education: teachers, researchers, students, parents, policy makers, and administrators.

Editorial Reviews

"There are very few books on this topic and none written from a Canadian perspective. The Tower under Siege provides a unique collection of research and commentary." Bruce Pennycook, emeritus, Vice-Principal (Information Systems and Technology), McGill University "The Tower under Siege offers important insights into the different paths jurisdictions have followed in developing telelearning policy." Donovan Plumb, Department of Education, Mount St Vincent University
