If you want some good discussion of the (confused) state of e-learning, read the first half of this article. If you are not familiar with the e-Learning Centre and Eclipse, read the second half. Staying with the first half, this article tours through some of the misguided assumptions of the early days, lingering on the now widespread observation that most learning is informal. It also observes that purchasers are now looking at e-learning solutions rather than specific courses, true in one sense, since e-learning is about more than courses, but worrisome in another,m since you shouldn't need to mortgage the house to implement e-learning.
