Online Learning White Paper: Engaging with the new e-Learning - ZDNet
The good news is plentiful. eLearning enables us to deliver both learning and information at will—dynamically and immediately; to tap the knowledge of experts and nonexperts and catapult those messages beyond classroom walls and into the workplace; and to know, through the magic of technology, who is learning, referring, and contributing—and who is not. That is the bad news. Many fail to embrace eLearning. The sophomore taking Introduction to Western Civilization via distance learning falls behind on assignments. The customer service representative looks at two of the six eLearning modules and completes only one. The supervisor, who had the best intentions, is too busy with work to be anybody’s e-coach. The executive, another with good intentions, never gets around to listening to the podcasts and is AWOL on a related blog.
