Description

In the twenty-first century, learning-and the definition of education-is changing. New digital, online, and social tools have the ability to transform the classroom and engage learners like never before. Measuring and Analyzing Informal Learning in the Digital Age investigates some of the primary technologies being used in educational settings and how a less structured and more open learning environment can effectively motivate students in their studies. Bringing together a wide variety of perspectives from a global list of authors, this premier reference is a crucial source of information for educators, administrators, theorists, and other professionals in the education field.
