MA in E-Inclusion - King's College London

This new Masters course starts in September 2008 and deals with digital technology, inclusion and disability. The course is taught by Dr Chris Abbott, Reader in e-Inclusion and author of many books and articles on this topic (see http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/sspp/education/staff/cabbott.html).

Most Masters courses involve full-time attendance in London for a year, but this MA is taught partly online and partly in intensive blocks, so that students need attend in London for only one ten-week period (minimum), thus reducing living costs considerably. More information can be found on the King's College London website at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/schools/sspp/education/ and then follow the link to courses. Those interested are also welcome to contact Dr Abbott by email (chris.abbott@kcl.ac.uk).
