Description & Coverage
Description:

Online learning is transcending from the text-rich educational experience of the past to a video- and audio-rich learning transformation. The greater levels of media-rich content and media-rich interaction that are currently prevalent in online leisure experiences will help to increase e-learning's future efficiency and effectiveness. Enhancing E-Learning with Media-Rich Content and Interactions presents instructional designers, educators, scholars, and researchers with the necessary foundational elements, theoretical underpinnings, and practical guidance to aid in the technology selection and design of effective online learning experiences by integrating media-rich interactions and content.

Those who are completely new to the field will value the very wide scope of the chapters, ranging from a history of learning technologies and the future of online learning, distance education, conceptualizations of learning technologies through classification of technologies and a review of methods for selecting learning technologies, leading up to the new approach set out.
