In the news today, it turns out that driving a car will do nothing to improve your equestrian skills. And in similar news, "none of the (e-learning) projects made a significant impact in encouraging students to pursue studies in maths or science, or on students staying in school." This project especially, which appears to have consisted of teachers being "dumped on" with Generation XP Microsoft educational products and told to "make do". I don't know why anyone would think that digitizing a bunch of content would magically make students want to learn math or stay in school. Or even that it would constitute good e-learning.
