WOW!

Dr. Lusdkin's work on the web and learning is a tour de force by a master of the media and education. Rerely does one book combine insight crossing disciplines as does Dr. Luskin's. His Emmy award winning media work combined with a career as a leader in education make his perspective on the web and learning a must read for the serious educator wanting to deliver the best education and training in these electronic times.

The future of education and work training.

This book should be required reading for any person in charge of education or work training. It shows the future of how people will learn using the new and emerging technologies in the world today. I found the chapters on Corporate Universities very interesting, and was surprised at the number of corporations that now have their own "schools." Quite an interesting read!

Casting The Net Over Global Learning is unique and commended resource for the twenty-first century.

A Must Read!

This book is a must read! Those interested in what digital networks can do (and are doing) to education will be fascinated by Dr. Luskin's conclusions. Perhaps the most important concept of the work is its straightforward title: "Global Learning." What the author correctly sees as the inevitable growth in the reach and ease of learning is flat-out heresy in some parts of the world. "E-learning" will surely penetrate more and more communities and change how vast numbers of people around the world think about themselves, their circumstances, and what to do about them. Without question, this is one of the basic discontents of Osama bin Laden and his ilk. Dr. Luskin must rate a very special place in terrorist hell for his vision of where education using modern technology will go over the next 25 years. This is a good book worth reading.
