MX Developer's Journal: Captured by Captivate
As an educator with a post-secondary institution I have had something of a ringside seat watching the evolution of e-Learning. My biggest complaint was that, in general, most institutions getting into the game just 'didn't get it.' Their approach to the process was to create what I called 'digital in-baskets' where the student completed the work and sent it in as an e-mail attachment. How they could regard this process as 'distance learning' or the 'digital classroom' was a mystery to me. One institution proudly walked me through their 'digital in-basket' and was quite upset when I suggested they could save themselves some serious infrastructure dollars by replacing the program with something more efficient: envelopes and stamps.
