dc.description	The book starts with the optimistic definition of the Maastricht 2002 declaration about global education claiming that it should open people´s minds to the realities of the globalized world and bring about greater justice, equity and human rights. He then traces back the history of global communication to Denghis Khan and his arrow riders to end up with the modern forms developed by the different generations of distance education with special emphasis on the mega universities . Although communication is dominated today by iPads and smart phones Baggaley points out that important concepts how to bring online media to the population and to convert the recipients of that information into contributors (user generated content) have been developed much earlier e.g. by the Polish filmmaker Dziga Vertov about one hundred years ago. So Baggaley always tries to put actual media development into a historical context that includes parallel developments and trends in music or painting as well.
