Activity 1.1 

WHAT!??! E-LEARNING.. what kind of a subject is THAT!
is this familiar to any other students of E-learning?
.. it’s not a misunderstanding nor an insolent attitude towards the word, but rather it’s the repeated incomprehensible concept that YES!!! THEY HAVE MADE A SUBJECT out of it and once again YES, MY DEGREE DOES REQUIRE THAT THIS SUBJECT IS PASSED!

and then…to make matters worse..we have the druggos loitering outside Maccas Broadway,  “E -learning!! I’d do that ANYDAY” (lame, but true)
    
                            
THE QUESTION REMAINS THE SAME!!!: E-LEARNING? WHAT!?

E-learning to me is learning through the use of multimedia platforms such as the internet, CDs and Computers and it is a flexible process, which allows the student to learn when and where they please.

Lets begin to find out the truth..
- I googled e-learning and this came up:

The delivery of a learning, training or education program by electronic means. E-learning involves the use of a computer or electronic device (e.g. a mobile phone) in some way to provide training, educational or learning material.” (Derek Stockley)

PROBLEM: WHO IS DEREK.. and WHAT WOULD HE KNOW!? … lets try an ACADEMIC SOURCE  —>

“internet supported learning innovation allows workers to learn anytime and anywhere, promotes active and independent learning, and supports communication between experts and novices” (Lim, C.P. “What isn’t E-learning?”article)

and to all those people who still question HOW they can turn this into a subject….  i dunno..
