Michelle Kazmer and I have just completed an edited book on research and practice in online education "Learning, Culture and Community: Multiple Perspectives and Practices in Online Education" It is largely framed around the "LEEP" distance program in the Grad. School of Library and Information Science at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The book covers both research approaches to online education as well as chapters on best practices. I am glad to report that it also contains a chapter by Nick Burbules whose book Daniel Menchik recommends. The table of contents is available here http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/~haythorn/LCC_ToC.html and the book should be available by Fall 2004. You can contact me offlist if you'd like further info about the book. /Caroline ---- Caroline Haythornthwaite GSLIS, UIUC

Dear AoIR's, dear friends, I am working on a new project to develop an e-learning graduate course in the area of digital culture and communication.
I am gathering information and I will greatly appreciate your suggestions about best practices available around the globe and/or distinguished teachers using this approach (job opportunities will be available). Thanks in advance for your toughts,
