Bowles, M. S.: Relearning to E-Learn

Relearning to E-Learn removes the 'noise and hype' surrounding the field of e-learning and encourages its strategic implementation within corporate and community settings.
E-learning straddles the crossroads where the management of education, training, performance, knowledge, human resources and change collide. Relearning to E-Learn is the result of a 12-month international research project designed to better understand both e-learning and the impact of multiple disciplines and processes within an organisational context.
Relearning to E-learn:
-examines the 'second wave' of e-learning implementation
-analyses recurring concerns about e-learning development by learners, instructors and organisations
-promotes serious rethinking of learning strategies at individual, group and organisational levels
-advocates the need for innovative approaches to the design and delivery of learning programs to accommodate individual learner differences
- encourages the view that e-learning should not be an isolated activity, but a catalyst and enabler of far-reaching change
-offers practical strategies for achieving effective and efficient e-learning.
