Reflections from an e-learning conference held recently in Britain. Cynical reflections. "The industry stages very predictable events where: publishers argue that there should be more emphasis on e-learning content; software companies argue that there should be more emphasis on tools; and learning theorists want to see more collaboration between learners and more attention on 'pedagogy' in general." Yup. Some glimmer of hope: "Donald Clarke was brave enough to challenge some of the emerging e-learning orthodoxies, arguing that 'giving teachers new e-learning tools is not going to solve the problems affecting dropout in education' and that adult learners like to learn free from the trappings of teachers and institutions."
