Leading the eLearning Transformation of Higher Education, edited by Gary E. Miller and Kathleen S. Ives, aims to present a knowledge base for eLearning leaders in a higher education context. The book's fifteen chapters are separate articles by experts in eLearning and educational leadership and aim to provide the reader with perspectives and theoretical ideas on administrating and leading in the ambit of online learning. Part 1 focuses on the question of leadership and strategy. Part 2 focuses on operational aspects for higher education programs that are based on eLearning. Part 3 discusses sustainability and innovation within the higher educational eLearning context. The articles within these separate parts generally stay within the theme, but occasionally touch on other, more loosely related topics. Overall, this book contains some valuable perspectives for those interested in eLearning leadership.

Researching Second Language Acquisition in the Study Abroad Learning Environment: An Introduction for Student Researchers (Isabelli-García and Isabelli, 2020) presents an overview of some of the major topics relevant to research on study abroad. This book is intended to be a basic primer for advanced students and beginner professional researchers and serves to provide general orientation on various aspects ranging from language and interactional systems to research gaps in the topic area. The book gives a relatively thorough presentation on some of the scholarly perspectives on study abroad that can be used as a guidebook for anyone who is interested in conducting academic research in the area. While there are some shortcomings, the book does an excellent job of synthesizing some of the major scholarly themes that are relevant to study abroad.
