  Hi, Brinda,
  
  The book will be published by ICGI Press in physical format with the possibility of an audio book (working on a contract with a professional voice artist).
  
  Cheers,

Hello,

I am Dr Brinda oogarah-Pratap, teacher educator and Associate Professor at the Mauritius Institute of Education. As part of my doctoral thesis (2011), I have conducted a study on the use of online discussions to facilitate deep learning among non-native English speaking students from a non-western culture. I used a design-based approach to formulate design principles and guidelines for online discussions such that deep learning is facilitated among non-native English speaking students from a non-western culture.

I would like to know (before submitting the required chapter proposal) if my research topic is worthy of consideration for the book.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards

Brinda

  Dear Brinda,
  
  Thank you for sharing the focus of your doctoral thesis. I am interested in learning more about your work, which certainly seems to be a good fit for a proposal. In addition, given the focus of your work, you may also be interested in participating and sharing in this survey research about the perceptions of global participants i.... I hope to hear from you!
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Barb
