MIT Technology Review: Lessons e-Learned
MIT Technology Review: Lessons e-LearnedQ&A with Richard Larson: A lot of my colleagues, who are otherwise impeccable scientists, make statements like "there is no substitute for face-to-face learning." I take that as a research hypothesis. Some might say, "We all know the on-campus experience is the best in the world." It's certainly the most expensive. The blackboard is basically an adaptation of cave drawings. In thirty thousand years there has been the invention of the eraser. A lot of my colleagues say asynchronous learning is revolutionary, but cave drawings are an example of that. The artist shared what he knew about buffalo, or what-have-you, and the painting made it asynchronous. The printing press revolutionized asynchronous learning.
