Infos

From "e;learning toy"e; and "e;learning society"e; to "e;learning city"e; and "e;learning organization"e;, what is meant by "e;learning"e;? The main focus of this volume is to increase our understanding of the "e;learning turn"e; referring, in this book, to the frequent occurrence and usage of terms in the last few decades where the word "e;learning"e; is the premodifier. The authors also offer insights into the use of the word "e;learning"e; as a premodifier in the future and discuss what, if anything, may replace it, such as "e;knowledge"e; (as in "e;knowledge management"e;) and "e;smart"e; (as in "e;smart city"e;). An extensive range of academic disciplines are covered including political science, economics, human geography, philosophy, linguistics, higher education, working life science, management and organization, and marketing. While a single, overall, unified conclusion is not provided, Making Sense of the Learning Turn presents a variety of voices and perspectives. Some contributors are critical towards the learning turn, explaining it in terms of fashion-following, manipulation, and seduction. Others interpret the learning turn more lightly or suggest a more collective form of learning as an alternative to the individualization of learning that some authors argue has been the case thus far.
