Written for educators and administrators in higher learning institutions, this guide explains how modern technologies such as Web 2.0, virtual presence, multimedia, gaming and mobile devices can be a vital part of a learning environment. Wilen-Daugenti, an adjunct professor of business administration in several Bay Area universities, maintains that information literacy is a direct result of increased exposure to technology, with students and faculty enjoying equal benefits. The author also suggests that it is the responsibility of the student to pursue as much technical training as possible from universities and workplaces, and offers educators many strategies for fulfilling this commitment.
