Editorial Review	This book will give readers much to think about in relation to the political agenda but it should also provide a rich grounding of fieldwork data from which to appreciate the present relationship between beyond-school learning and new technology... An excellent read: a stimulating interpretation of findings from a timely and elegant piece of research. I strongly recommend it.' - Journal of Adult and Continuing Education "It is a well-organized and well-written volume that should appeal to adult educators with an interest in technology-based learning." -- The Canadian Journal for The Study of Adult Education, November 2007.
