Jess’ E-Learning Blog

I was just reading my las tlbog entry (checking for typos ^_^) when I had a thought. Part of the reason that Second Life is still on the cards for DoCS is that they feel that they can afford to wait an extra few years for the system requirements for SL to come down, while DoCS (perhaps, maybe?) upgrades the NGO computers to ba able to handle SL. 

But, in a few years time, what is the possibility that there be some brand new, fantastic use of the internet for learning which is better for DoCS and the NGO’s than virtual worlds? Or what if the technology to support SL improves, but so does SL’s demand on said technology? Could DoCS possibly be chasing the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

I think that it might be more important to design and implement basic e-learning strategies sooner rather than later, which can then be evaluated and re-designed or added to. This allows for DoCS to make have their first e-learning on a smaller scale, where they can learn a lot about how to implement e-learning in their situation while minimising risks.
