IFI7139 Week I

More and more are people using different e-learning environments, because it is cheaper, more operative and in some opinions-even better.

Most important thing in e-learning future is „leaner“. New environments, designs and facilities should support learning act and be leaner-centered. There is no one and only fixed and bulletproof solution for learning. Before starting the course, it is important to think which kind of result and learning activities would be best to consolidate new knowledge.

According to Hargadon, the key points for education in a Web 2.0 environment are „From consuming to producing:
From authority to transparency
From the expert to the facilitator
From the lecture to the hallway
From the „access to information“ to „access to people“
From „learning about“ to „learning to be“
From passive to passionate learning
From presentation to participation
From publication to conversation
From formal schooling to lifelong learning
From supply-push to demand-bull

I totally agree with previous points but also some questions arises.

-When there is no teacher-student relationship and „closed“ and one-way addressed knowledge any more, is not it a bit insecure according to data used.

And

-What about fair competition between people? When you have no „shelf“ to put your ideas on and everything is out to see for everyone all the time, does not it change the whole idea of competition?
