Learner, learning; teacher, teaching; teacher, learning?

We have one big assumption when it comes to e-learning.
Just because the resources are available, it doesn't necessarily mean that students know how to use them.
Of course, Wikipedia and other web-based resources have made online knowledge acquisition much easier, but telling students to simply "google it" is like letting a bunch of kids loose in a candy store.
And you can be sure that it'll end in tears.
"Learners need to learn how to learn," says Prof Diana Laurillard in her keynote address at the ALS.
In other words, you must be able to structure e-learning and set proper goals for it -- that is, we need to have a proper pedagogical framework.
In the rest of her speech, Prof Laurillard sketches out her argument for this framework, concluding the teachers must function more like scientists, especially in collaboration arena.
Actually, there is another key assumption we have about teachers.
We believe all teachers know how to use the latest technology. After all, they're teachers, right?
Wrong.
Prof Laurillard stressed that we must not be simply driven by technology and lose sight of the goal of educating our students. To do so, teachers must know about developments in e-learning, so that we won't get dazzled by the latest toys. The key therefore, is to recognise that technology is an enabler, and not the end goal in itself.
As NTU'S Associate Professor Daniel Tan puts it, we must focus on how these tools benefit the students.
Consistently during the address, and in the panel discussion afterwards, the point that kept coming up is that teachers must receive training to harness technology.
And that they must be given the time to do so.
A footnote, however, that the panellists brought up, is that the teachers themselves need to be receptive to being taught.
Attitude, in the end, is key, they say.
