E-Learning Myths Busted
The growing knowledge economy is transforming the dynamics of the workplace. New trends are creating new realities; new realities are requiring new tools; and new tools are giving birth to new possibilities.
E-Learning Beyond the Workplace- Wadi D. Haddad
This article was written in 2001 by Cher Ping Lim (Ph.D. National Institute of Education, Singapore) and is surprising not outdated (to me). It focuses on particular myths about eLearning and extinguishing the central ideas about elearning in the corpoarte workplace envrionment.
If some one asked me to describe e-learning in one sentence, unfortaunly i still dont think i would be able to do it-however i would be able to tell them exaclty what e-learnign is not!
E-Learning is and does:
- not exist in isolation; it is interwoven with the other medias and human participants
- not all about technology
- not all about information
- not all about web-based learning
- not all about the interactions between the
computer and learner.
But i can say that elearning IS a process. Its not just a subject, it is a process in which students and teachers alike can grow, evolve, create and explore. It is a process which, if used appropriatley, can foster a
learning community
