Using Online Interaction to Break Your Addiction to Classroom Training - Michael Burke, Learning Circuits
Many of you may be familiar with the phrase: “Interactivity is in the mind, not in the mouse.” I’d endorse that statement, with the following caveat: It’s okay to depend on the mouse to get the mind engaged. Unfortunately, the majority of corporate self-paced online learning consists of screen turners, which is the equivalent of page turners in a print model. That sort of courseware commits cruel and unusual punishment—boredom—upon its victims/learners. The irony is that online learning actually lends itself to interaction, and with little effort can be far more engaging than some traditional classroom instruction.
