My book with Richard Andrews takes a practice perspective and ties to previous work on CMC and sociotechnical perspectives, as well as addressing learning theories. Haythornthwaite, C. & Andrews, R. (2011). E-learning Theory and Practice. London: Sage. We also edited a volume on e-learning research Andrews, R. & Haythornthwaite, C. (Eds.) (2007). Handbook of E-Learning Research. London: Sage. Work is underway for a second edition of the book. Since you are in Sweden, you might like to contact Anders D. Olofsson (Umeå University, Sweden) and J. Ola Lindberg (Mid Sweden University, Sweden) about this — see their book "Informed Design of Educational Technologies in Higher Education: Enhanced Learning and Teaching”. /Caroline

Dear Colleagues
I am a PhD Candidate writing a thesis on online teaching practices in a higher education context and have difficulties navigating through all the previous empirical studies published. Is there anyone on this list who has knowledge of:
1. published empirical studies in a higher education context, using sociomaterial perspectives/practice theory as a theoretical perspective (in particular Schatzki) when analysing online teaching?
2. a recent handbook or research overview on online teaching and learning in higher education or a recent handbook in distance education/e-learning in general that could serve as a starting point for getting an overview of the current research situation in the field?
3. a text that deals with the different concepts that are used to denominate the field (such as distance education and e-learning) and also gives some clarity on which concepts that are mostly used at the moment?
I am sincerely grateful for anything you would like to share with me.
Best regards Karin Bolld?n PhD Student in Adult Learning Department of Behavioural Sciences and Learning Link?ping University, Sweden
