Concerns over ethical issues in open/distance education systems have arisen due to increasing demand, challenges to traditional higher education power structures, global economic competition, quality control issues, and recognition by the World Commission on the Ethics of Scientific Knowledge and Technology of these challenges and opportunities. Demiray (Anadolu U., Turkey) and Sharma (Indira Gandhi National Open U., India) introduce 21 chapters presenting international perspectives on the experiences of faculty, administrators, librarians, and researchers worldwide regarding ethical practices in a field where there is no official body overseeing such standards. Contributors discuss mini-case studies featuring ethical dilemmas (e.g., academic dishonesty, cultural sensitivity, Internet safety), and best practices for supporting e-learning. The volume is extensively referenced and includes complementary institutional online access. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
