Benefits - or otherwise - of e-learning

Just a quick entry, reflecting on some of this week's discussions.

It's interesting how a discussion on the benefits of e-learning has stimulated just as much debate on the potential pitfalls and disadvantages! Being a generally cautious and questioning person by nature, I feel this is a positive thing - it's better to be realistic about it than to assume that all this new technology is to be embraced without question.

I also feel that we need to be aware different teachers' and learners' styles; we can't assume that everyone will take to the online environment.

I am fascinated to know what direction education will go in the future...
