eLearning

How do you know if you are using a Learning Management System or a Virtual Learning Environment? Is there a difference? In fact there are big implications about the type of learning inherent in the name.

We demand high quality content, personal interaction and real value whenever we buy a product or a service. But why then is eLearning focusing on big crowds, low quality video lectures, scripted teachings and impersonal and useless multiple choice tests? We need to put more focus on the individual student, on producing high quality content and on giving each person the feedback she needs to actually learn something new.

Would you be interested to review the history of eLearning from the first “testing machine” (1924) to the “social online learning” (2010+)?
