E-learning the way of the future - academics
Canterbury University students now have no excuse for missing lectures. In the past year, the number of lecturers using the internet as a teaching tool has doubled and is still rising. Many students can now download lecture notes before a class begins, or even catch up afterwards through video or voice recordings posted on the internet. However, academics who use the technology argue it will never replace the experience of actually being there, and say lecture numbers are not dropping. Gregor Ronald, who handles IT teaching technical support for the university, said more than 370 lecturers used the internet for teaching. Ronald dismissed fears the increasing use of hi-tech support could lead to an exodus of students from the lecture halls.
