Reflections on the Future of eContent Development in HE It's the time of year for reflections on the major events of the past year and trends for the future. This Breeze presentation by Zaid Ali Alsagoff was presented at the ASEAN e-Learning Seminar in Malaysia on Dec. 9, 2005. The presentation does a fine job reviewing tools, content repositories, and models of e-Learning--with some interesting forecasts about future developments. I especially like Zaid's contrast between the Pedagogy, Andragogy, and Heutagogy models.  The emphasis throughout the presentation is on free tools and free content and on the importance of shared development.  Zaid is the director of the  Learning and Teaching Unit at UNITAR; I posted an item on December 7 about his directory of HE repositories, the OER Index. Zaid is eager to hear from viewers of his presentation and invites comments at  zaid_a@unitar.edu.my.  (The Breeze presentation is about 52 minutes long and is released under a Creative Commons license.) 8:49:25 AM    COMMENT []
