Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community
Of course not everybody would agree with the author's one-sentence assessment of online learning ("If learning is learning with people, then elearning is learning with content.") and when he says "the internet" he mostly means the web. Still. The core of community is interaction, and site owners (or course professors) who do not interact, who do not participate in discussions or answer their email, cannot be said to be fostering interaction no matter how many forums or chatrooms are on their site.
