This is a brief review of a keynote presentation to a conference at the University of Leicester, UK, organized by Professor Gilly Salmon, borrowed from Mr. Tony Bates (hope he will not mind). The presentation covers the following topics:
What is e-learning and why it is exploding?
Current pressures on universities:
- changing economies and job skills/competencies
- changing epistemologies and views on learning
- changing students
- changing technologies
What is Web 2.0?
Benefits and dangers of Web 2.0 in education
The role of academic departments in managing change
Conclusions: why e-learning and Web 2.0 are important for university teaching and learning
The video is approximately 45 minutes in length. Click on image below to watch video.
I highly recommend Mr. T. Bates blog and all videos.
You can find more of them here.
