Caring & Sharing

JMN goes on to suggest this as a possible solution:

"With shareable content and a common content standard that's universally applied, it may be that much easier to create better courses with very little extra money."

Which is certainly what SCORM and 'industry-standard' people would argue... but aren't we trying to pop a cat in a bag here? Can 'shareable content' form the basis for quality courses? I've yet to see it!

Don''t get me wrong, it's alluring as anything... but I can't help but see it as a fruitless cause. It's not that easy to teach...

Distance Boring

James M Nugent, on DEOS-L writes:

"I am concerned that too much of what we see as "DL" is little more than a correspondence course that's been html tagged and put on the internet as something other than a correspondence course. Such courses tend to be boring, relatively rote, and not conducive to a whole lot of learning. Such content is very often driven by budgets set up to milk DL without putting resources into allowing instructors to do it well without killing themselves, and I think this is a real problem."

Yes, DL, the great budget saver... has that myth passed on yet?
