This book empowers people to go beyond themselves into new spheres of
learning, thinking and creativity. Drawing on recent work in
communications theory as well as psychology, computer science and
philosophy, it reveals some key characteristics of learning dialogues.
It also demonstrates ways in which computers and networks can deepen,
enrich and expand such dialogues. The book's central argument is that
this dialogic perspective in education and the latest developments in
information and communications technology make ideal partners.
