Summary: Deep Learning for a Digital Age
Comment: I found this book disappointing and not helpful. I work as an instructional designer and saw no information of use to me - just lots of speculation. Chapter 3 ended up as an 'infomercial' for a software program named "quickplace". I cannot recommned this book at all.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great for Educators and Administrators
Comment: This book represents a modern view of technology. The author describes how to use technology to enhance learning. He gives practical advice to help educators and administrations set realistic goals. Too often, technology is implemented as an addition to educational goals rather than in support of these goals. Weigel examines different educational technologies and highlights factors that you should consider before implementation.

Rating: 5
Summary: Focus on quality, not revenue potential, of online learning.
Comment: This book emphasizes one of the most important issues confronting colleges and universities as they plan for online learning: the quality of the experience for the learner. Positing that an increasingly robust contemporary infrastructure (human and technical) can deepen learning and teaching beyond what's possible, even in many face-to-face environments, Weigel rightfully cautions higher education to keep its eye on the real prize -- educational depth and richness -- rather than the false and conflicting fantasy of commercial windfall. Eloquently written and soundly argued, this volume is a sensible guide for educators, administrators and policy-makers in dealing with the confused new world of electronically networked learning.
