Abstract

The trend towards replacing classroom-based learning events with e-learning ones continues, driven for the most part by the persistent move for cost reduction. Unless you happen to have a Chief Executive Officer, who is fully experienced in the value of classroom-based learning, education and training is the first thing to suffer when businesses face a downturn. Clearly classroom-based learning is not the be all and end all for acquiring the knowledge and competencies needed for work roles. When professionals are given the authority to teach and learn alongside their daily requirement to produce, individuals come up with many interesting, creative approaches to learning – very few of which involve a classroom. However, despite an initial flood of creativity in e-learning design in the late 1990’s, at the prospect of someone learning effectively while sitting in front of a computer, the majority of online education has sadly boiled down to a tick-box activity, which for legal purposes, covers the organizations’ obligation to ensure people have read a compliance document or some other required piece of material. Thus, the problem remains; how do we really educate people remotely?
