[Founder of Distance-Educator.com Makes Major Contribution to the Field]: Saba’s Chapter Leads New “Handbook of Distance Education”
Saba’s chapter, “Distance Education Theory, Methodology, and Epistemology: A Pragmatic Paradigm,” was selected to lead the Handbook as it sets the tone for the rest of the volume. In this chapter, he presents the case for a paradigm of distance education that is uniquely American as it is grounded in the pragmatic school of philosophy, particularly that of William James.
