E-Learning and Economic Development - Kelly CAREY and Stanko BLATNIK, Turkish Online Journal of Distance Education
Educators need to see the world behind the text created by the Internet. The physical reality of working with students, in real time, across time and space is a staggering idea. The world it creates in the interpretation and application of its living text is beyond anything ever experienced in the world of learning and education. The Internet changes our linguistic experience with the world. Ideas exchanged between writers and readers create a fusion of horizons (Gadamer 1989) not geographically possible before this time. A new understanding, a transformation of our being takes place as we reinvent ourselves based on new experiences, new understandings and new relationships.
