See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications
To quickly scale training globally, e-learning surely is the answer. Today’s global landscape is driving this need.
I will agree with the author that a oft-missed ingredient is social interaction. However, the point is missed that with mobile learning emerging, social interaction becomes much easier to do and facilitate. Even in many online classes I had as a grad student, there was never the lack of social interaction. We had heated discussions and lively debates all online from week to week. Some conversations even carried over beyond the assigned weeks on a given topic. The author is right that without social interaction, e-learning, in many respects, is like having a big library. And for some bookworm types–that’s okay. But with technology changing constantly and new forms of communication through web 2.0 tools constantly coming out…I don’t think this is so much the case.
