Seconds Out, Round Two
Nov 19, 2005
The article seems OK so far as it goes, though it would have been nice to see some mention of the actual work taking place in what I have been calling e-learning 2.0. It looks at some of the generic applications on the web - web 2.0, folksonomies, the wiki - and overlooks the work in e-learning specifically (which, I might add, has been driving and not merely following these wider web applications). people like Scott Wilson, George Siemens, Alan Levine, Norm Friesen, James Farmer, and many, many more, deserve some credit for what they are doing - they are, after all, rewriting the textbooks on how we learn\. Sadly, this credit does not appear in the Guardian. But it is in my view more revolutionary and more fundamental than the surface features described in the article.
