e-Learning: It's More Than Automation - James Kilmurray, Technology Source
The first ATM was located inside a bank and was available only during banking hours. Bankers viewed this technological innovation as an automated teller. Real innovation did not occur until ATMs were placed outside banks and in malls, grocery stores, and airports, available twenty-four hours a day. (Twigg, 2002, Preface, p. 2 [print], ΒΆ 4 Online educators of adults should not fall into the same trap as bankers did when they first introduced ATMs. The innovation brought about by e-learning does not follow the model of traditional, instructor-directed classes. The opportunity provided by e-learning is a different learning environment in which instructors can employ new learning models and new instructional practices.
