The rapid development and expansion <strong>of</strong> <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong> technologies has vast potential<br />

implications <strong>for</strong> the processes <strong>of</strong> teaching and learning world-wide. Technological<br />

advancements <strong>of</strong> <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong> applications strike at the base <strong>of</strong> the education<br />

spectrum; however, the scope <strong>of</strong> experimentation and discussion on this topic has<br />

continuously been narrow. <strong>Web</strong>-Based Education and Pedagogical Technologies:<br />

<strong>Solutions</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> Applications provides cutting-edge research on such topics<br />

as network learning, e-learning, managing <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong> learning and teaching<br />

technologies, and building <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong> learning communities. This innovative book<br />

provides researchers, practitioners, and decision makers in the field <strong>of</strong> education<br />

with essential, up-to-date research in designing more effective learning systems and<br />

scenarios using <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong> technologies.<br />

The Advances in <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> (AWBL) Book Series aims at providing an in-depth coverage and understanding<br />

<strong>of</strong> diverse issues related to the application <strong>of</strong> web-<strong>based</strong> technologies <strong>for</strong> facilitating and augmenting learning<br />

in contemporary organizational settings. The issues covered address the technical, pedagogical, cognitive, social,<br />

cultural and managerial perspectives <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> research domain. The Advances in <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong><br />

<strong>Learning</strong> (AWBL) Book Series endeavors to broaden the overall body <strong>of</strong> knowledge regarding the above issues,<br />

thus assisting researchers, educators and practitioners to devise innovative <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> solutions. Much<br />

attention will be also given to the identification and thorough exploration <strong>of</strong> good practices in developing, integrating,<br />

delivering and evaluating the impact <strong>of</strong> <strong>Web</strong>-<strong>based</strong> <strong>Learning</strong> solutions. The series intends to supply a stage<br />

<strong>for</strong> emerging research in the critical areas <strong>of</strong> web-<strong>based</strong> learning to further expand to importance <strong>of</strong> comprehensive<br />

publications on these topics <strong>of</strong> global importance.<br />
