"In this eBook, Project RED - a national research and advocacy effort - shares preliminary results from a survey of technology-rich schools and takes a look at what past research and current observation tells us about the keys to successful technology implementation. What do we know about curriculum reform or the leadership, funding and legislation changes that will allow technology to transform learning and schools, just as it has transformed homes and offices in almost every other segment of our society?

In this book, 34 leading scholars from 10 countries challenge established understandings of lifelong learning and work, with several arguing that 'work' and 'lifelong learning' need to be 'turned inside out' through a rigorous critique of underlying social relations and practices so that we understand the power relations that shape learning/work possibilities. In various ways, all of the 25 chapters that make up this volume are infused with imaginings of alternative futures which prioritise social justice and sustainability for the majority in the world.

"E-readers are the digital devices that put a library in a reader's hand and sometimes can be a direct line to newspapers and magazines. Some can download a book wirelessly in less than a minute and hold 1,500 volumes. Some can file away music. Some can be a repository for photographs."

"Here's a brief history of the Internet, including important dates, people, projects, sites, and other information that should give you at least a partial picture of what this thing we call the Internet really is, and where it came from"

The concept of OER describes educational resources that are freely available for use by educators and learners, without an accompanying need to pay royalties or license fees. A broad spectrum of frameworks is emerging to govern how OER are licensed for use, some of which simply allow copying and others that make provision for users to adapt the resources that they use.
