Think piece: Defining the ‘e’ in e-learning

Posted on 16 October 2009 by jrobes

Eine kleine Gedankenspielerei. Elliott Masie fasst zwölf Jahre E-Learning-Geschichte und -Evolution zusammen. Um den Status Quo zu beschreiben, benutzt er die folgenden Stichworte: “The ‘e’ has evolved. - Fingertip knowledge and search is key. - Social learning rocks! - Learning in the age of YouTube. - Blending learning expands. - Global learning.” Und standesgemäß fordert er abschließend auf, auf den Begriff E-Learning zu verzichten:

“Finally, as the person ‘accused’ of helping to introduce the term e-learning, I have one hope: that we drop the ‘e’. Let’s just assume that learning in the future will always make the best use of online resources, digital collaboration and interaction between learners and teachers. The ‘e’ should evolve to be about ‘excellent learning’ that naturally uses these traditional and emerging modalities.”
