Different Perspectives
It is interesting to note that not all users of e-learning define it and its uses the same. Much like anything in life , as ‘they’ say. Whilst strolling through the colourful landscape that is weblogs i came across the following passage that kind of grabbed my imagination;
‘The very first point Richardson makes is that “this may look like a book about technology, but it’s really a book about …connections” (p.vii). With a nod to Jonassen, the author discusses “cool tools”, “collaborations and conversations” and “creatively motivating students to learn more deeply” using a teaching and learning “toolbox” (p.9). He’s obviously talking about e-learning, but does not see the need to define what it is. So, e-learning has become a common if imprecise term used to refer to technology-enhanced learning’ .
