ELF framework lacking 'community' components

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

Although the ELF framework is just that, a framework into which components can be added, it surprises me that it lacks any mention 'community building' type services at this stage. Although it has chunked things into nice bite sized piece services it still seems very much locked into a traditional view of learning with content and activities being authored and delivered to students. 

LMS - not the way forward

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

Some good thoughts on Derek's blog about evaluating LMSs. I agree with his conclusions that a list of checkpoints for evaluating current LMSs is not much use, and in fact our whole view of elearning and elearning platforms needs to be looked at if we are to move it out of the teacher/content/students transmission model that many existing LMSs pre-impose on teachers and learners.
