Review of Marcus Bowles, 'Relearning to E-Learn: Strategies for Electronic Learning and Knowledge', 2004

Abstract

Dr Marcus Bowles is well known to those interested in E-Learning. The emphasis of his latest work is not on academic based training but rather on corporate training. The corporate training market has been plagued by a failure to apply teaching pedagogy in favour of simply delivering content on-line. Bowles encourages corporations to invest in e-learning on the basis that communication, information transfer and knowledge-based attributes are the key to financial success for modern corporations. Content and technology, the foundations of e-learning can be enhanced by full recognition of people and process. Each of the twelve chapters of the book concludes with a summary principle.
