2. E-learning is one of several ways in which
technology is changing the face of education.
Over the past 20 years, schools have
transformed from building centered places
where students learned basic skills, to
undefined venues where students interact
using multiple modalities. One of the most
difficult challenges facing educational as an
institution today is in trying to predict and
prepare for the ways that teaching and
learning will evolve over the next two
decades.

their understanding of how
technology fits in the
classrooms.
7. E learning is changing the face of education.
From a building centered place where basic
skills were taught to an undefined-
anywhere/anytime venue where interaction
is multi modal.
8. Determine the extent of online learning
implementation
Define what constitutes eLearning
Who is doing the “teaching”
Reasons why parents and school districts are
using technology to replace or supplement
more traditional classrooms.
9. Addressing out dated mental models
Educators work with limited
resources
School districts rely on the input of
innovators who are loosely connected
Professional development
Students’ technology skills often
exceed those of their teachers

Technology
A disparity between how administrators see the
use of tech and how the graduates of 2013 see
and use technology. Universities focus more of
providing repositories of information than in
investing in more robust and engaging Web based
learning resources.

16. Schools
need to create a shared vision
whereby everyone in the community comes
together to understand E-learning and its
demands.

19. Rapid change requires leadership at all
levels. This includes self-leadership, the
“process of influencing oneself”. Leading
into an unknown future requires challenging
your own assumptions about a current state
and envisioning the future to create new
mental models.
20. Funding issues continue to be a limiting
factor in many schools. Although research
over the past 20 years has predicted that
technology will usher a transformation in
education pedagogy, the revolution has not
materialized. Technology initiators have been
frustrated with aging or poor performing
hardware, lack of professional development,
and software that focuses on skill and drill
(Staples, Pugach, & Himes, 2005).
21. Investing in e-learning opportunities is laden
with challenges. The chief challenge is that
of being able to convince stakeholders of the
role that technology should play as pupils
learn in the 21st century. For those involved
in e-learning projects, investment in
technology is paramount and must be a
priority. In order to achieve the level of
competency that is required in a knowledge
based economy, educational institutions will
need to budget not only for technological
hardware but for professional development
opportunities as well.
