They were rewarding and reassured me that educationist we are on the right road, heading in the right direction.......however no one really can pinpoint the destination only that it will be a transformation in educational practice and that it will be exciting and something we should not fear or hold back from.
Here’s an interesting video from Enabling e-Learning: Leadership, where Dr David Parsons (Associate Professor, Massey University) talks about the term ‘e-learning’ and elaborates on defining this more like, ‘blended learning opportunities’ where e-learning tools are integrated in authentic ways.
