This is an accessible and useful addition to the literature to support practitioners in further education, skills and organizational learning contexts. The combination of historical critique, theoretical discussion and the use of case studies as reflective prompts offers the reader the opportunity to’ dip in’ to subjects or to consider issues in depth. The technology chapter is thoughtful and supportive and is a good starting point for practitioners wishing to explore technology enhanced learning.
I feel that this book not only fulfils the brief of bringing together concepts, theories and contexts, it provides an invaluable handbook for new and experienced practitioners and also delivers new material adding to the body of knowledge in this field... As such I would recommend it to anyone embarking on a development pathway in the post-compulsory sector.
1. I found the structure very accessible, providing a clear and progressive introduction to the chapters which follow. An excellent companion guide to for exploring change as a 'context' in learning and development, moving easily between the individual and organisational levels and effectively describing the elasticity of the threads which pass between them.
