Cleveland-Innes, M. F., & Garrison, D. R. (Eds.). (2010).

An introduction to distance education: Understanding
teaching and learning in a new era (2nd ed.). New
York, N.Y.: Routledge.

The impetus for revising the content for our book on

Teaching and Learning in a New Era is that distance
education is now a major player in the revision of
education broadly. Higher education is facing multiple
demands for change where distance education, as an
alternative pedagogical and delivery approach, can be
considered in the response to some of these demands.
For example, distance education, appropriately designed
and delivered, is the closest we can come to completing
the iron triangle of education where all three elements of
access, affordability, and quality can operate in
tandem.
