"E-learning is just not the right word anymore" - Click Press
E-learning is just not the right word anymore, says Jane Knight, founder of the e-learning centre in an interview with Kineo. In a recent interview with Stephen Walsh from Kineo, the new learning consultancy, she lamented that people still don’t see beyond the idea of e-learning as a formal course. “E-learning is so much more than that, it’s about collaboration, communication between learners and the sharing of knowledge and experiences…people think of e-learning as formal courses and all this other stuff as something else”. She noted that it may be a definition problem: “E-learning is just not the right word anymore…it’s got more to do with e-working and performance support”.
