En fördel med att vara förlagd på stora amerikanska förlag är det massiva marknadsföringsstöd man får. Fina affischer och särtryck. Nu kommer reklamen för andra upplagan av den första bok jag blev publicerad i. Alla författare fick även chansen att förbättra sina artiklar vilket jag passade på att göra. Min artikel Young People's Net Cultures finns i del 4 av det omfattande verket. Artiklarna är i bokstavsordning så jag är näst sist av alla. Så här ser reklamutskicket ut, om någon har 1195 dollar att avvara:

Educational practices and techniques are seemingly endless due to classroom integration and use of distance learning programs and technologies.

The Encyclopedia of Distance Learning, Second Edition encompasses the latest concepts, trends, issues, and technologies in the field of distance learning, providing an audience of practitioners, researchers, educators, and students with a critical mass of knowledge on an emerging and significant educational field of study. Containing over 100 research articles by internationally-renowned professionals, this must-have resource contributes the latest findings and practices in topic areas such as computer-based learning, teaching methodologies, and distance learning programs.
****************************************
“It is time for the educational community to reframe the meaning of education and what it means to be an educated person in the twenty-first century. It seems that what we ideally intend to do is to create a basis for learning how to learn, rather than supply what we assume all learners should learn before (push) they begin the real work of learning. I think the reader will find convincing evidence in these pages!”
- Patricia L. Rogers, Bemidji State University, USA
