Editorial Review
This well-written and accessible text sheds light on new uses, conceptions and developments of learning. The focus on 'augmenting', whether teaching, collaborating, or using social media, is set against a sound backdrop of theory and research. The authors' experience in these areas has enabled them to offer a critical text with helpful examples and explicit guidance. It is a book that transcends education settings from higher education to primary schools as well as cutting across disciplinary boundaries - an all-round best buy. - Maggi Savin-Baden, Professor of Higher Education Research, Coventry University, UK
