Higher Education in the Wake of New ICT: Reaping Benefits or Creating More Problems through E-Learning?
Mouyabi, J. Seke Mboungou
South African Journal of Higher Education, v24 n5 p1178-1189 2010
This article deals with e-learning by focusing on the perceptible tension between ICT and Education. It calls for the implementation of a supple platform within higher education community in the new era of ICT. A personal experience and the analysis of different approaches are used in dealing with the issues. The choice of Moodle as a case study in this article illustrates the model of platform that is needed for higher education, and I found that more benefits are being reaped from e-learning by institution of higher education than the few challenges that are listed.
