From Parkin’s Lot: E-Learning Adventures Beyond the LMS
Initially, we failed to appreciate that the internet is a vehicle for connecting people with each other, and instead pursued a learning supply chain concept that had more in common with the 1970s music industry than it did with 21st century e-business. We pursued systems that imposed bureaucratic control instead of learner empowerment. In a world hurtling toward distributed internetworking, e-learning was still based on a library-like central-repository concept.
Is it time to start thinking about different approaches to our courses?
