They describe the opportunities, changes, and policies developing in Canadian universities and governments in response to the education revolution. While most studies of the education revolution tend to be highly polemical, The Tower under Siege occupies a middle space, identifying issues and policy processes used to manage change and create more opportunities for education. The Tower under Siege will be of great interest to anyone concerned with, excited about, or worried by the expanding role of technology in higher education: teachers, researchers, students, parents, policy makers, and administrators.Education, HigherEffect of technological innovations onCanadaEducational technologyCanadaHigher education and stateCanadaEducational changeCanadaEducation, HigherEffect of technological innovations onEducational technologyHigher education and stateEducational change378/.00285Lewis Brian983342Massey Christine1506403Smith Richard(Richard Keith)28496MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910783755303321The tower under siege3736621UNINA
