The only constant phenomena
on this earth is ‘Change’ and change means reaction, reformation, evolving,
upraising, moving and all those adjective which refers to change. The change has
to be painful, drastic and of course beautiful – so as the butterfly.
The change from
traditional to modern digitalised learning will also have to pass through all
the characteristics of ‘Change’. The
question is are we well prepared for the happening as a midwife for the new baby or will it all
be left to nature as for the butterfly.
The High cost of
latest technology and the short life span it has, is the core ubiquitous challenge the Digital Learning Environment is facing.
This challenge will be more and more critical for education provider and for
student.
Managing changes of rapid technical
advancement at education provider maybe easy to adopt, but for student, will be
tough enough in such a
downturn of economy,
Finding right technology fitting individual
learning requirement is also critical as to getting a clear picture from an
individual for the effectiveness of the course. The effectiveness of course
does have relevance with the media or platform it is delivered on.
Above this, the challenge Digital
Learning System, has raised to the sanctuaries
old strong orthodox and well established education system, is
will they change?
How the business and economic scenario will
react and will the reaction be positive and constructive?
On the one hand, the opportunities are endless, through innovative technology; education can be ubiquitous, adaptable, approachable, improved, and economical. On the other hand, we have to deal with tough technologies, market severity closed minds, apprehensive school districts, missing infrastructure, a shrinking tax base and politics.
At the end, the change we're going over at
the present, will eventually going to be the most significant in the history of
learning.
