This article's best line is its last: "In 1939 the New York Times said of TV 'the trouble with TV is that theCRLFaverage family will never find time for it'." That said, this engaging article looks at some important trends in e-learning with an eye to helping people understand and use the new technologies. Among the important (and in my eye, accurate) trends observed: the blurring of the distinctions between work, leisure and education and the accessing of learning as consequence of or as part of other activities; the further erosion of the learning monopoly of formal educational institutions; and the growing range of educational providers. My only major criticism of the article is the tiny tiny x-small font-size used for the text in this and the other Global Learning Summit (held March 4 and 5 in Adelaide) papers. Why would you torture readers like this? Are you trying to save space? Sheesh.
CRLFMore from the Global Summit of Online Learning Networks tomorrow.
