The main common themes of an earlier book in this series, Virtual Learning
and Higher Education, were: the extent to which education should
become ‘virtual’, the actual cost and value of such innovation and to what
degree such education suits its stakeholders. In order to further engage
with these important issues a conference was held in Mansfield College,
Oxford in September 2003. An edited selection of the papers from that
event along with relevant papers that developed as a result of the
conference’s subsequent correspondences are the contents of this book.
The chapters cover a spectrum of practical issues from ‘at the e-
chalkface’ experimentations with virtual technologies via those who
consider the consequences of establishing such systems through to those
interested in developing long-term strategy or policy in the area.
This stimulating and important book is aimed at researchers of topics such
as technology-driven education, philosophy, innovation and cultural
studies. It is also meant to appeal to anyone with an interest in
the ‘virtual’ world of education.
