No e-learning Crunch

The digital revolution has made us all into lifelong learners. Even when we don't want to, we have to keep learning, in order to keep track of our friends on Facebook, Hyves or Orkut, to work with the latest free version of Paint, to upload our pictures on Picasa or to write our latest idea in a blog. And because we've all become lifelong learners, school is only one place where we get our information from. It also seems that the current recession, which is affecting almost every country, does not affect the e-learning business. Creative solutions, cooperative learning, community tools - all useful to keep the costs of expensive traditional learning institutions down. What will teachers do if faced with this reality? Become Lifelong Learners too? Adopt new media and technology to support their teaching? Finally? That will be the day.
