Interview with Michael Allen, CEO of Allen Interactions. According to Allen, "although it’s sometimes denied, an effective and practical approach for e-learning must differ greatly from traditional ISD." Specifically, e-learning must be meaningful, memorable and motivational. And "it’s the essential aspects of dynamic interactivity that are often given far too little attention and development." It's like Zemsky and Massey said in a recent Chonicle article (behind a subscription wall, sadly). Students "want to be connected, principally to one another. They want to be entertained by games, music, and movies. And they want to present themselves and their work." get that right, and you get e-learning right.
