Dear All,

E-LEARNING IS WASTE OF TIME AND RESOURCE

• Not all eLearning is created equal; much of it is a complete waste of time with limited active or engaging learning actually happening.

• It’s easy to waste money and time on eLearning that will bring no benefit to learner performance, especially when the vast majority of eLearning modules claim to have ‘interactive’ or ‘engaging’ learning. Training should be about performance

• The majority of integrated e-learning platforms seems to be unable to support different degrees of value delivery.

• High dropout rates from e-learning courses, low learner satisfaction, ambiguous performance, seem to justify their opinion.

• E-learning Lecture based courses very often fail to promote value creating processes both for learners and teachers and their realization requires enormous efforts.

• The complexity of learning as a cognitive and knowledge oriented process makes the establishment of effective e-learning processes using ICT’s more difficult.

• The available technology expands from time to time the alternatives of implementation but the core competencies are constructed around clear ideas and underlying concepts.

• Does the e-learning environment combines knowledge, motivation, needs fulfilment, problem solving, and other? As learning depends on all these aspects

• E-learning requires much more effort for equivalent or improved learning outcomes in comparison to traditional learning ,but unfortunately technology is only a driver not a catalyst.

• The e-learning value proposition and consequently the e-learning loyalty and hence the higher acceptance of e-learning depends on joint efforts that combine teachers, students, technology, learning processes and dynamic futures.

• E-learning is a waste of time only if we dont believe it as a value adding process that challenges the way of teaching.

Online education has significantly helped make education more accessible, thus achieving the aim of “education for all”, a theme that has become a global mandate since the 1990s. The maturity of education technology has also enabled online education to become more manageable and accessible than ever before.

Looking Into The Future Of eLearning
