Synopsis

This book refers to the latest insights in Electronically Enhanced Education (E-education) and highlights the importance of interactivity as an overarching principle in citizenship and education practices. Interactivity has thus determined the title of this book, which introduces specific narratives, explains and analyzes them and describes the correlative practices of E-education. Depressions, worries, disturbing clinical pictures such as Parkinson or Autism, which threaten the coherence of the social web, are analyzed and related to the principles and practice of E-education under the umbrella of a changing citizenship with new insights in social sciences and neurology. As a result, the book presents an encyclopedic approach to recent E-education. It emphasizes how the word "education" is not solely a word, a concept or a political reality, but how it is primarily a form, which supports our interpretation and understanding of the facts of contemporary life. E-education provides a new framework for such interpretations and focuses their understanding by our future generation.
