eLearning is Changing
According to Marc Rosenberg, author and expert. eLearning is evolving. He puts out 6
1. E-learning will become more than “e-training.”
2. E-learning will move to the workplace.
3. Blended learning will be redefined.
4. E-learning will be less course-centric and more knowledge-centric.
5. E-learning will adapt differently to different levels of mastery.
6. Technology will become a secondary issue.
I agree with him.
And on Item 2, for us less developed countries, may I add that it will become the great equalizer for education. eLearning is coming to the Rural Areas. The flat“>world is becoming flat and the playing field is coninuously leveled.
On Item 6, with the rapid improvements in technology, this will cease to be an issue.
My personal take:
- eLearning will also lean towards developing different approaches for intelligence“>different learning styles and intelligences. One topic will have different version catering to the personality type of the learner.
- eLearning will take public education global - where countries pool their knowledge base and resources offered to all who want to have an education. Alliances of competing industries/companies will be formed to sahre this precious resource.
- The business model for eLearning will change. New avenues for revenue will replace the traditional content and system as the main source. Open-source will develop to a point that it become the de facto standard world wide.

E-learning is changing, agree…but not the mindset of some educators. There is still a lot of resistance to change. On open source, this is one of the great thing and we should support the development of open source platform.
