Connected Learning instead of E-learning?

In Diana Oblinger’s video welcome at the ELI meeting, she suggests that the term “eLearning” be replaced with an updated term which she calls “Connected Learning.” I do think we need a better term to describe online/distance learning but I’m not sure  if connected learning will catch on.

Below is link to Tuesday’s opening ELI General Session where Diana makes her pitch for “Connected Learning” as well as a great talk from Vincent Tinto from Syracuse University titled “Student Success Does Not Arise by Chance.”

Bendito Machine III

This is a video posted in Week 1 of the #edcmooc. Very impressive animation & visual & audio effects. Reminds me of people who are obsessed with the latest & greatest gadgets and technologies even when their old tech or gadget works perfectly fine.Did someone say Apple?

How Online Learning is Becoming Learning

The author if this chapter entitled “The Post-Modality Era: How Online Learning is Becoming Learning” makes a great point. Today, some universities limit the number of online courses traditional students are allowed to take and use different tuition models and admissions standards based on the delivery method but this is changing.  In the future, Blended/Hybrid, Online, and F2F will be ubiquitous on college campuses and students can choose the mode that of learning that suits them best.
