Tavangarian, Djamshid; Leypold, Markus E.; Nölting, Kristin; Röser, Marc; Voigt, Denny – Electronic Journal of e-Learning, 2004
Despite the fact that e-Learning exists for a relatively long time, it is still in its infancy. Current e-Learning systems on the market are limited to technical gadgets and organizational aspects of teaching, instead of supporting the learning. As a result the learner has become deindividualized and demoted to a noncritical homogenous user. One…
