Special Issue on: "eLearning and corporate eWorking"

Guest Editors:
Prof. Dr. Heike Wiesner, Berlin School of Economics, Germany
Dr. Pak Tee Ng, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore

This special issue explores the technological, educational, social, political and academic effects of eLearning or eWorking for teaching and learning. In particular, it is keen to examine various advantages, tensions, dilemmas and contradictions experienced by educators, teachers and students working with heterogeneous yet collaborative interactive media in the context of eLearning or corporate eWorking.

The topic involves complex and multi-faceted challenges such as education policies, curriculum reforms, legal issues, learning methods. Moreover, the challenges faced may differ from educational institution to educational institution in each country, and from country to country. Therefore, concepts will have to take into account the specific technological nature and cultural setting of the interactive media in education in question, the context it is located, the teachers' and the students' profiles, the historical background of the country or region, local habits, needs and practices, ethics and also religious beliefs.

The issue welcomes original papers in theoretical development and empirical research, case studies and discussion papers dealing with challenges and frontiers of eLearning and/or corporate eWorking.
