ReviewsEmbedding e-learning As tends to be the case with special issues of BJET, we start this reviews section with a look at some books which significantly address the factors that most relate to success in managing the change to e-learning. A selection of general reviews follows.Thanks, as ever, to all our reviewers and to the publishers who send their works relevant to educational technology. In this instance, too, our special thanks go to Karen Fill for specific help on the embedding e-learning aspect.
Summary
Carr‐Chelman's book is very practical, so is useful for teachers at all levels, and is written in very nice simple language that makes it easy for them to understand the main ideas the author is trying to convey. There are many examples in the different chapters that will help the teachers to be able to develop good lessons and other learning packages. On the other hand, Richey et al provide professionals and students at all levels with the foundation for current and emerging id practice. The book is well written and organised. It is very helpful for specialists to gain knowledge about the field of id and to become familiar with the different terms used in the field. If the content of either book is likely to be relevant to you, I recommend that you borrow a copy of it for a while. Iman M Alghazo
the ISBN-13 has become "the ISBN"; publishers should no longer use ISBN-10. ISBN-13 starts with 978-, has the first nine digits of the old ISBN-10 next, and ends with a new check digit.You can not remove the 978-and obtain the ISBN-10, as the check digits differ. When 978-ISBNs start to run out, 979-ISBNs will appear.As far as we can, BJET will use the new form of ISBN from now onwards. van den Akker, J et al ed (2006) Education design research Routledge (Abingdon UK & New York) ISBN 0-415-39635-2 163 pp £24.99 www.routledge.com
