For francophones, a book by Julie Boissonneault, a professor at Laurentian University, Sudbury, Canada
Boissonneault, J. (2009) Enjeux de la Médiatisation à l’Université Sudbury ON: Prise de Parole
If I have translated correctly, the book discusses the following question:
does not the presence of ICTs in the university require a new understanding of teaching and learning, a new dynamic in pedagogical design? (‘la présence des NTIC sur la scène universitaire, jumulée à la redéfinition des rôles en éducation, ne mène-t-elle pas à une nouvelle représentation de ce que sont enseigner et apprendre, à une nouvelle dynamique sur le plan des relations pédagogiques?)
The book draws heavily on data from her study of professors teaching at a distance in a dual mode Canadian university.
A full review may follow later.
