Jan Nespor

Reviews

“At last! A scholarly, research-based book that refuses to make vacuous claims about the benefits of computer-mediated instruction in university settings.... It is clearly hallmarked for becoming a classic, touchstone text within a range of fields concerned with instruction and new technologies.”
—Michele Knobel
Montclair State University“This is a wonderful book.... The case study of the growth of computer-mediated instruction at one university is quite comprehensive in describing the many political, practical, sociological, and educational factors that played a role.... The excerpts from administrators, faculty, and students are powerful. [Nespor’s] analysis is very thought provoking.”
