Abstract

This chapter explores developments in e-learning in colleges and universities, providing a context for the work that follows. Pedagogical developments are reviewed, focusing particularly on the UK. Research is then considered, beginning with an orienting discussion of the curriculum as a focus for study. Research concerning the relationship between technology and the curriculum is then discussed. Implications of this for teachers, students and others are then presented. The chapter concludes by emphasising the need to engage with, rather than ignore, the complexity that a social account of technology in education provides.
