      The collection Learning Through Digital Media offers a grounded analysis of a number of significant and recent situations of online learning. The collection appropriately includes examples of uses of online services with influence and application beyond classrooms (Wave, Facebook, Twitter, Zotero, Flickr, Ushahidi and Wikimedia). In these environments student learning opens onto more diverse and authentic vectors of connection than most uses of closed e-learning platforms. As such, the collection is important both as pedagogical insight and as timely cultural politics.

      What a tremendous critical resource for students, faculty and anyone else seriously interested in how contemporary media have and will continue to shape the landscape of teaching and learning.

      A stellar group of scholars examine a wide range of platforms and programs reshaping pedagogy. These researchers are committed to the social implications of technology and learning, both in the classroom and in the public sphere. Thoughtful and engaged, these essays help us rethink our pedagogical assumptions through the limits and affordance of digital media. This is an indispensible collection for educators interested in the future of their practice.

      Please change the name from Index to something else, or change the content. While full-text search is great for finding material quickly, it can also be misleading. Imagine the reader searching for “remove” when the document uses only “delete.”
      I’d like to see this page be an intelligent list of concepts, ideas, etc referenced in the text–a traditional index–wherein someone can glean the contents of the material and can find material they might otherwise not find via the table of contents or text search.

      It is too bad that all of the chapters are no longer online, as the process is so much part of the product. You should consider making them back available.

      I agree completely, Michael; alas, this was the editor’s choice. Perhaps with enough support from other authors we might be able to make the drafts public again…?

      Could you say a little more about why the open review essays were removed? I’m disappointed not to find the process archived here — for the purposes of future discussions of open review modes. I assume the reasons for doing this were substantive and strong or the essays would not have been removed.

      Thanks,

      Katherine

      Hi, Katherine. You may want to contact the editor directly about this question, though I’d love to have that discussion take place here! –K.
