Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. We are facing a paradigm shift in education, pushed by technology and the new delivery systems it makes possible, and pulled by the demands of lifelong learning required by a knowledge economy. The student is no longer the captive client of monopoly education providers called "universities." Issues involving the nature of education, its definition, its power structure, and its culture are being debated: the question is not only how something is taught but what is taught, when, why, by whom, and for what purpose. Who should control education? How much privilege should professors have? What rights do students have as "consumers?" In this work, Brian Lewis, Christine Massey, and Richard Smith explore these important themes and issues from the varying perspectives of students, teachers, policy makers, and administrators. They describe the opportunities, changes, and policies developing in western universities and governments in response to the education revolution. While most studies of the education revolution tend to be highly polemical this text occupies a middle space, identifying issues and policy processes used to manage change and create more opportunities for education. Provides an examination and assessment of the technological revolution in higher education, and the institutional and government policies that surround it. This book identifies issues and policy processes used to manage change and create more opportunities for education.
