Professor Robin Mason was until recently professor of educational technology at the UK Open University, a specialist in the design and practice of online teaching and learning. At the time of writing her reports, she was director of the Master’s Programme in Online and Distance Education at the UK Open University.

Her research interests centred on learning objects, the e-learning potential of broadband, and the processes and technologies of student-centred learning. Her most recent book is entitled The Connecticon: Learning for the Connected Generation and concerns the ways in which the Internet has changed the nature and content of learn-ing.
