10 Damaging E-learning Myths

This is a good list of cautionary tales, a list probably more useful for e-learning purchasers than suppliers (who will probably continue to prey on the uninformed). It's not a list to make people feel comfortable: much of it has to do with discounting the illusion that e-learning is simple, that it is just the conversion of existing content matched to satisfy learning or performance outcomes. Now I don't want to discount either content or outcomes: I think we need them, if only to give us structure and scope. But these aren't all there is to e-learning, and indeed, they don't even form the heart of it. Look at it this way: would you consider a corporate training course to be the core (if not the sum) of learning on the job? Of course not. They have their place. But so does informal networking and coffee-room chatter.
