This video follows on from 'Do we still need e-learning?' It goes back through the 40-year history of e-learning to show that it was at its most promising in the early days, when there was a strong desire to deliver a personalised instructional experience. There are now few, if any, technical obstacles to achieving those goals, as the latest authoring platforms provide increasing adaptive capabilities. The real obstacles are with us, as humans.
I find it ironic that "e-Learning" is unpopular while the plethora of YouTube DIY videos are not only wildly popular, but often seen as effective. Yet YouTube is not regarded as "eLearning" right? Why not?
ReplyDeleteIn the video I make it clear that I am using the term e-learning just to mean interactive self-paced instruction and not digital content which, as you say Rick, is a huge success.
