E-tivities

The world of learning and teaching is at a watershed; confronted by challenges to previous educational models. One learning future lies in impactful, purposeful, active online activities, or 'e-tivities', that keep learners engaged, motivated, and participating. Grounded in the author's action research, E-tivities, 2nd Edition assuredly illustrates how technologies shape and enhance learning and teaching journeys.

Professor Gilly Salmon is Pro Vice-Chancellor of Learning Transformations at Swinburne University of Technology, Australia.
