Current E-learning models have been criticised by constructivists for
providing
content without a learning social context and have argued that such learning
contexts need to be designed into E-learning programs. This paper takes
issue
with this approach arguing that it unnecessarily imports into E-learning
assumptions and strategies from the traditional classroom/lecturing
environments.

Source: eSchoolNews Online

As business software maker Oracle Corp. presses on with its $6.3 billion bid
to
swallow rival firm PeopleSoft Inc., several PeopleSoft customers "including
large school districts, universities, and state education agencies" fear the
maneuver could disrupt their operations and ultimately cost them millions of
dollars to convert their systems.
