BUILDING A VISION


EDEN FELLOWS - A THINK TANK ON DISTANCE & E-LEARNING

Homework

1. Which were in the distance and e-learning field in the last 5 years the most unexpected

developments?

2. What would be your advise(s) to a PhD student or researcher in our field for his/her career?

3. What would be your advice for EDEN for its future activities and development?


Which were in the past 5 years the most unexpected developments?

All developments were predictable and in fact were predicted, although not by all. Even so, resistance to educational innovation persists.

Developments are mostly substantial slower than foreseen because Educational Institutions inertia is much more effective than hoped.

A new critical factor that will mark the coming decade will be the financial constraints and their impact on learner support, curriculum and the relationship between them.


Which were in the past 5 years the most unexpected developments?

Regarding emerging technologies:

• Social Media;

• Open Educational Resources / Open Educational Practises;

• Mobile Learning;

• Personal and Open Learning Environments.
