Hosted through http://writingblog.org/ which is Moxley's project, the overall scope is also well worth a look... lotsa action, that's for sure! 3:12:36 PM    comments   trackback

Better off? "Deliver instruction"? Hello? Here's an interesting article via Online Learning Update which says, among other things, ahem: "With the increasing penetration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the country, Nigerian students from primary school through to University and beyond could find their learning environments improving dramatically, thanks to ICT." Which is questionable enough, especially as the 'balanced' article is based entirely on an interview with the Cisco 'Territory Manager'. But what really gets me is: "Take e-learning," he suggests. "It is effective because it does not simply transplant traditional learning and classrooms to the Internet but creates new, innovative ways to deliver instruction through a distributed environment. "Students don't just pore over books and listen to lectures, they can use technology to chat, collaborate on projects and communicate via videoconferencing. Genuine self-paced instruction becomes possible." First up, you don't 'deliver instruction', you deliver content. Secondly, what's this 'collaboration' that can't happen in a class? Thirdly, you really reckon that chat and videoconferencing's going to kick off in Nigeria when it hasn't anywhere else? AND what the hell is 'self-paced instruction'... it's not instruction, it's learning and all learning is self paced anyway. Grrrrrrrrrr. Shoddy, ill-informed, corporately placed, wrong journalism... I wouldn't spend too much time looking at allafrica.com if I were you! 2:34:55 PM    comments   trackback
