White paper

Content and context in e-learning

 

Context is king

Content always has a context. And context can do everything to enhance - or to diminish - the knowledge it carries.

E-learning content is a medium like any other, like TV, books or film. We don't write off the movies per se just because we regularly get subjected to turkeys. Similarly we shouldn't write off e-learning every time we see an example of poor e-learning content. There is a regretably widespread tendency in education and training to make generalisations about e-learning content that fail to take into account its true diversity, range, and in many cases richness.

In his latest new white paper from Epic, Donald Clark, Epic, addresses the subject of e-learning content (long a core field of excellence for Epic). He offers a taxonomy of e-learning content, describes how it functions within optimal blends of learning methods… and describes the fascinating new trend on the web to make more and more of the world's learning content freely available online.
