Vol 7, No 2 (1999) - Editorial

Issue 7.1 represented the annual special issue of selected papers presented at ALT-C 98. This issue is the first time the new editorial team have edited an 'open&' issue comprised of papers selected from those submitted as part of the normal refereeing process. The broad scope of the papers in this open issue - courseware design, collaborative learning, evaluation, student use of electronic bibliographic databases, staff development - bears witness to one of the most fascinating aspects of learning technology: its broad-based interdisciplinary nature.
