Читать книгу Conducting Qualitative Research of Learning in Online Spaces - Hannah R. Gerber - Страница 10

Over the course of time, scholars have refined understandings and theories related to learning and the research of learning in online and offline spaces. Given the natural progression of thought, coupled with the inevitable and often swift evolution of technology, there may be multiple editions of a given text. In our book, we have carefully selected editions that have enabled us to situate theories, and our focus on any one particular edition brings to light that publication’s unique contribution. We do not intend to privilege any one scholar’s perspectives; rather, we build on the strength of historically situated thinking to enrich the discussion of contemporary research and the overall examination of learning in online spaces.
