If we take e-learning to be any learning which uses electronic tools we can perhaps then look at what tools are best for particular students, subjects, institutions, teachers. I think that there is some perception that a highly structured VLE ( e.g., WebCT, Blackboard, etc) is not the only or the best e-learning tool. In many cases, a well-structured intranet with good quality standards for content, availability and currency may meet the need. This can sit on a standard network file system, using, eg, Apache's autoindexing. I think also that there is increasing interest in Content Management Systems which allow cataloguing and indexing of content, grouping users, managing access and easy communication. Is there is a move towards tools that avoid the rigidity of the virtual classroom while providing 'community-type' access to resources and shared discussion space? regards Patrick To unsubscribe, email [log in to unmask] with the message: leave vle Patrick Hickey ILT Co-ordinator, ext 385 ***************** List information: ***************** Remember - replies go by default to the entire list.
