Call for contributors to a non-technical book on Web-based Pedagogy.
*******************************************************************

You are invited to submit an abstract, early draft, or completed
manuscript
for an anthology that takes up non-technical issues associated with
World
Wide Web-based pedagogy.  The working title for the book is, "Issues in
Web-Based Pedagogy: A Critical Primer," a preliminary prospectus for
which
is being submitted to an academic publishing house.

Aimed at a variety of disciplines, the collection will bring together
diverse perspectives on this mode of education from within the fields
of,
among others, business, communication, curriculum and instruction,
economics, education, literature, history, sociology, and psychology.

Works that speak to the form and/or content of web-based instruction
are
appropriate.  Chapters whose foci are qualitatively or quantitatively
grounded are equally encouraged.  Particularly sought, however, is work
that
raises the reader's critical reflection on the practices and potentials
of
Web-based pedagogy.

Topics for essays might include, for example: Case studies or empirical
analyses of web-based instruction, its social, psychological, or
economic
implications, paradigmatic or philosophical considerations, form and
design
issues, questions of intellectual property and content ownership,
quality
control, and/or censorship.

Interested authors are encouraged to send their materials (please
include a
vita) by February, 26th, 1999.  The tentative time table for submitting
completed manuscripts is early/late Summer, 1999, with publication as
soon thereafter as possible.
