E-LEARNING: JUST A WASTE OF TIME

Many people claim that e-learning is a waste of time. High dropout rates from e-learning courses, low learner satisfaction, ambiguous performance, seem to justify their opinion. But to the other extreme knowledge is recognized as a critical resource (Nonaka and Takeuchi 1995), (Wiig 1993), (Hahn and Subramani 2000), time and place limitations are abolished through e-learning technologies. So there is a definitely need to promote a critical consideration of this new concept. Academic Institutions in Higher Education as well as Corporations face a dilemma: to follow the traditional way of delivering training and education or to establish innovative approaches. Innovation many times implies simple and clear approaches, not obscure concepts and vague terms. Our paper concentrates on clear ideas. E-learning is a waste of time only if we don’t believe it as a value adding process that challenges the way of teaching.
