CogniSource: People to People not just People to Content is a useful thought piece from an e-learning practitioner on the importance of the human element in e-learning and how that has been neglected by off-the-shelf e-learning solutions
Too much of e-learning content seeks efficiencies by reducing the human interactive aspect of learning. I deplore the e-learning practice of eliminating the teacher from the actual delivery of a course. It limits student engagement, motivation and learning success
I lament the overuse of independent, self-paced study as an e-learning pedagogical model, especially in corporate e-learning. Peer-to-peer learning and interaction is a must have, easily enabled through e-learning. Most adults in the workplace find interaction with peers one of the most valuable aspects of a course, workshop, or seminar
I implore us all to move past our obsession with prepackaged, fossilized e-learning content, to active and alive e-learning content. Lets talk about how we create “learning moments” not “learning objects”.Via Elearnspace
