Time in online education: Nature and approaches

This book approaches the challenge of time essentials and their influence in online education by reflecting on and analysing temporal issues. The ultimate objective is to increase awareness of the significance of this omnipresent, but also ethereal, factor which is easily neglected in the research field. It is obvious that time is everywhere, involved in and involving every life process and this universality is one of the reasons, as well as one of the difficulties, for trying to really capture its essence. This volatility enhances the need to better discern its nature and its motion, specifically within the online learning framework.
