Digital Systems for Open Access to Formal and Informal Learning

Abstract

Today, digital systems and technologies for open access to formal and informal learning have attracted the attention of all major stakeholders in education. These developments have led to new research challenges which are discussed in this volume. This book under the general title Digital Systems for Open Access to Formal and Informal Learning captures current state of the art in both Theory and Practice (Part I) and Methods and Technologies (Part II). The volume consists of 20 chapters selected from among peer-reviewed papers presented at the CELDA (Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age) 2012 Conference as well as scholars from around the world who were invited to contribute in the particular topics of this book.
