This book has a definite, predefined audience that the author makes clear in the title. I'm not that audience so I rather unfairly have to mark this down since the content didn't really benefit me. Having said that I would recommend this to folks getting started on their digital learning journey. This book is aimed at tutors who need help and guidance navigating the digital landscape and for those people it is written in an easy to understand and follow fashion. If you are experienced in the use of digital technology then this probably isn't one for you, though as I said the author is transparent in the title. Given the dearth of literature in the digital learning FE space, this books is an interesting addition.
