IT industry news: e-learning 'motivates students'

09:10 12th August 2011

Getting students motivated to engage in elearning practices is hardly a problem, according to David Guralnick, president of the International E-Learning Association (IELA).

"In building hundreds of simulations, we have not found motivation to be a problem - quite the contrary," he said.

He recognised, however, that if you ask students to click a next button, read, click again -that is the kind of elearning that won't inspire people.

In his view, he said, the e-learning user experience is still, for the most part, an underappreciated area.

"E-learning design is really about what you're teaching, the goals, and the audience, and coming up with engaging and effective methods. There's a tremendous amount that can be done, we just don't see enough of it right now," he added.

In other IT industry news, online computer training resources are a great tool for businesses who employ a vast number of remote workers, according to Charlotte Wolff, training editor for online HR information source, XpertHR.
