What's Old Is New Again
Allison Rossett and James Marshall,
ASTD, January 6, 2010.
"E-learning today appears to be mostly about delivering assessments and designs, testing, personalization, scenarios, and tutorials." This according to a study reported by Allison Rossett and James Marshall. This is very different, they say, from the view of e-learning as seen in conferences, blogs, and magazines. "You would think that the classroom is near death and that the web is the beating heart of training and development." Not so, they write. Classroom delivery, assessment and measurement are the cornerstones of contemporary work in e-learning. They write that they are surprised, but I am not. Web-based personal learning is still a wave of the future (which is why I write about it). (Hits Today: 0 Total: 604)
