Description

Demand for higher education and the abundance of technologies are reasons why e-learning in higher education can be expected to grow. The rapid development of communication technologies used for e-learning has implications for teacher training. A student-centered revision on the role of the stakeholders in the learning enterprise is paramount. Sensitivity training to cultural needs and professional development are recognized factors in how collaboration and social presence contribute to open communication and group cohesion. Technological tools need to be used to enhance learning outcomes. Formative assessment also promotes self-directed learning and is a source of empowerment. Through the lens of e-learning, the authors discuss the implications the above factors have for ongoing professional development in higher education.
