Do Biology And Human Nature Limit The Effectiveness Of E-Learning?
In the training industry e-learning is the rage, although it's such a poorly defined area that almost any instruction that includes technology can be considered e-learning. Putting aside this problem, and if we assume that e-learning has, as it's prime medium, the use of technology for learning, is it possible that human nature, and our genetics will become a limiting factor in the success of e-learning?
Genetic "Socialness" Is The Limiting Factor For E-Learning
One problem e-learning has faced is completion rates. Massively Open Online Courses (MOOC'S) have a completion rate of between 3% to 7% depending on the research study. In addition, many companies have found that after investing in hardware and courseware, much of it ends up unused or under used as employees shun the process. Why?
Human beings have evolved as social animals, and for good reason. Lacking the physical tools to compete with predators, we evolved as "pack" animals, if you like. Thus, our genetics require social contacts and interactions for us to operate effectively.
That genetic evolution doesn't mean "social" as in interacting with technology or through technology, but means human beings NEED to interact with other human beings for their own sense of well-being.
At some point, if you remove that need fulfillment from training by substituting technology as the medium that gets between one person and another, human beings become less attentive, and less satisfied and tend to shy away from PURE technology related interactions as REPLACEMENTS for direct human contact.
This explains why learners over decades, haven't embraced technology as a learning process, whether it's via television, computer assisted instruction, or the current technologies.
it's likely we'll eventually come to the point where we will realize that while e-learning will seem to be cost effective, that no amount of tinkering with it via better design of courseware will make it succeed beyond a certain point.
That's not to say e-learning doesn't have a place, but it does mean that our genetic endowment will result in a continual struggle to get learners to use the technologies. It may be there is NO solution, because genetically, there is NO substitute for face-to-face, non-technology mediated human interactions.
Top : E - Learning :
E-learning is the fastest growing sector in the training industry, and while definitions vary, it refers to the use of technologies, and the Internet to deliver training and learning experiences to learners. We'll address many of the questions and issues regarding e-learning in this section.
Conversations with an e-learner (E-Learning Journal Article)
By
Anne-Florence Dujardin
This case study was part of a larger ethnography, which focussed on learners’ experiences of an online Master’s module in research design. In-depth interviews were conducted via instant messaging with one mature e-learner over five months. These sought to capture her perspective in order to gain a finer appreciation of what it means to be a member of an online learning culture. The study confirms the need to structure online courses so that students can develop early in their studies appropriate online social skills. It highlights the value of having a ‘key informant’ willing to engage in reflective conversations with tutors, to understand participation patterns and help foster an online learning community Hits: 668 )

Virtual Behavior Settings: An Application of Behavior Setting Theories to Virtual Communities
By
Anita Blanchard
Virtual communities are a new social phenomenon in computer-mediated communication (CMC). Within these communities, a sense of place is emerging that may provide a key to understanding them. This paper proposes that virtual communities can be better understood as operating within an emerging environmental form: virtual behavior settings, a concept informed by Barker's (1968, 1978a) and Wicker's (1987, 1992) theories of (face-to-face) behavior settings, altered by considerations of the distinctive qualities of time, place, and objects in CMC. Virtual behavior settings are examined in terms of the emergence and maintenance of setting programs, their participants, and their operation within physical behavior settings. It may be a bit academic for some and appears a bit dated, but worthwhile. Hits: 1018 )

The post breaks down 30 (yes, 30) eLearning myths that DeNeen writes “need to die in 2013.” It’s a good read for anyone who’s still unsure about the benefits that eLearning, or at least some sort of blended learning approach, can bring to their organization. It also got me thinking. We write quite a bit on this blog about the use of on-demand video presentations for eLearning and corporate training. So how can video specifically help dispel some of these common myths? Hits: 690 )
