Elearning - what happened

This article questions what happened and why elearning has failed to take off identifying several false assumptions:

- if we have it - they will come
- digital natives will use it
- it will act as a change agent for learning

Masses of figures from America and focuses on a proprietary type survey.

The "Models of Technology and Change In Higher Education" cross european survey in 2002 identified in one of the articles below indicates that promises of mass change and new dawn has not happened.

- Change is slow not radical.
- ICT use widespread but part of blend
- Academics doing more but with no real reqard.Low perceptions

Teachers attitudes and beleifs

Teachers’ attitudes to and beliefs about web-based
Collaborative Learning Environments in the context of an international implementation (Vassilios Kollias a,¤, Nektarios Mamalougos b,c, Xenia Vamvakoussi c,
Minna Lakkala d, Stella Vosniadou,Computers & Education 45 (2005) 295–315) looks at the attitudes and beleifs of student implementing a collaborative learning environment.

Effective use of VLEs.

Effective Management of Virtual Learning Environments mentions "surveys
suggest that the technology is not being effectively utilised. This may be due to e-learning having grown in a bottom up way and many institutional strategies and policies focussing on targets for getting content on-line." but doesn't reference the statement. DOH!

Survey of ICT use in art and design

Survey of staff development in support of ICT in art and design provides a high level comprehensive view across 49 institutions

Oxford view on technology takeup

Takeup of learning technologies by academic teaching staff in '2002' looks at incentives across a number of universities.

LSTN VLEs in the Hospitality area.

Virtual Learning Environments in Hospitality, Leisure, Sport & Tourism – A Review states that of the 10 universities participating few had undertaken reviews of staff. It also states that "A key problem was seen as being the lack of basic IT skills amongst academic staff, which often hinders the acceptance and adoption of the VLE by individuals."

UWB survey

UWB survey of blackboard use shows some basic statistics but does not give any background to how it was surveyed.

Napier university - VLE use

Survey of VLE use at Napier university highlighted the types of componenets that elearning can take on webct and how it might be being used as simply a communication / publishing tool for course materials.

While I may be looking at barriers to use of webct/elearning there is a further research question on the 'pedagogical' effectiveness of the existing learning within webct. Converting materials for use on webct does not necessarily mean that the learning becomes more efective.
