In this time, she has co-written or edited a range of books specifically for teachers in higher education on a variety of technology and teaching-related subjects, including "Authentic Learning Environments in Higher Education" (with Anthony Herrington), and "A Guide to Authentic e-Learning" (with Thomas C.
