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. 606 $aEducation, Higher$xEffect of technological innovations on$zCanada 606 $aEducational technology$zCanada 606 $aHigher education and state$zCanada 606 $aEducational change$zCanada 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xEffect of technological innovations on 615 0$aEducational technology 615 0$aHigher education and state 615 0$aEducational change 676 $a378/.00285 700 $aLewis$b Brian$0983342 701 $aMassey$b Christine$01506403 701 $aSmith$b Richard$g(Richard Keith)$028496 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783755303321 996 $aThe tower under siege$93736621 997 $aUNINA
