E-learning Manifesto - IJEL
With the commercialization of the Internet, the on-line learning community is being threatened. This environment, originally developed to support the knowledge and growth of individuals and communities, is being diverted by marketing interests. The user who is in search of information is bombarded with extraneous screens and messages designed to lure them to this site or that product. Private user information is captured without notice and used for a variety of commercial purposes. This Manifesto calls on professionals to recapture the instructive capabilities of the Internet. It challenges those who share a vision of the Internet as a constructive, knowledge-building endeavor to commit themselves to retaining the educational integrity of the medium and to protecting the rights of the on-line learner. The manifesto proposes four guiding principles and ten statements of best practices that challenge developers to: · Maximize the Internet as a tool for learning and growth · Promote learner safety. · Commit to equity · Respect property rights.
