I like Carliner's frank assessment of the current state of e-learning and his sober perspective on the predictions made by various e-learning pundits. In particular worth noting are the low scores given to e-learning on student assessments and the lack of knowledge of decision makers in the field. Carliner also expresses caution regarding the roles games, simulations and blogs will play in e-learning. Fair enought, but instead of looking at the specific technology we should ask about the trends these technologies represent: will e-learning continue to move toward a more student-directed model, as instantiated by games, simulations and blogs?CRLF
