Synopsis

Online education has the potential to utilize cutting-edge technologies in order to bring together learners, e-facilitators, and e-contents. The Handbook of Research on Transformative Online Education and Liberation: Models for Social Equality discusses the potential for transformative models to liberate online education. With a focus on the societal, social, political, economic, and philosophical perspectives of transformative models, this handbook examines how digital learning communities foster critical reflections and prospective change, particularly within virtual groups. This scrutiny of transformative models serves to educate faculty, administrators, professionals, researchers, community activists, and parents on the injustices that challenge digital societies.
