The Promise and the Potential
John Biss, Erin Mills,
May 20, 2008
Presentation slides by John Biss and Erin Mills, from the Canadian Council on Learning, for the talk given today at the Shaping Our Future conference live session. The talk was fairly generic, with Biss outlining the CCL's take on e-learning and the need for research. Some big questions went unanswered, at least for me. What does the CCL thing constitutes 'evidence', for example - and how can they say that the evidence on e-learning is "thin" in the face of, say, this newsletter, which has thousands and thousands of links to examples, studies, software, blog posts, and so much more? And, for example, what do we do when the cost of researching something is so much greater than the cost of simply trying it to see it it works? We are not bogging down because of lack of research, it seems to me, we are bogging down because of research!
