Sometimes the training will impress the user by its technological resources but it won't translate the individual needs. I.e. the individual might be looking for a quick training - mostly because he/she does not have enough time to go to classroom sessions and prefers learning through online resources -, however, the organisation 'throws' lots of information and introductory manuals of how to use all those resources, which miss the point of this particular individual need. Also, it does not seem interesting to me to enroll in an online training about interpersonal relations, for instance - where interaction with other individuals seems to be necessary. By that I mean that online training should not be suitable for any subject, and even on more mechanic topics (such as computer skills training), there should be some kind of human support and coaching.Studentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684987.post-56845803152548227682011-03-07T09:26:55.887+00:002011-03-07T09:26:55.887+00:00Yahye, we cannot let our first impressions complet...Yahye, we cannot let our first impressions completely colour our judgement forever, we have to learn to explore and expand our understanding before we make rash decisions.

I always saw<br />technology as tool for socializing, making new friends and even being<br />part of worldwide communities such as couchsurfing and of course<br />finding convenient things.... I was worned by my first university<br />about the low quality of materials online and I thus developed that<br />doubtful approach between my learning style and online world and could<br />not take it serious enough. I also see myself as perhaps old fassion<br />whereby I need to go out there and study (get the whole experience)<br />with people rather than keep motivating myself to study alone as I do<br />not have much of self-discipline.<br /><br />Also there is much bigger problem that to do with the education system<br />whereby you do not really need to learn much but instead being clever<br />enough in how to meet the minimum and maximum standard of academic<br />requirements which is largely operational exercises rather than<br />gaining knowledge and knowing how to apply it. So the use of online<br />world on top of all that to learn, simply becomes a fidly headache<br />that we could do without. For me there is a great deal of confusion<br />regarding this belief of “the wisdom of crowd” and then complaining<br />about how many of fake people are out there claiming to be experts,<br />trainer etc. I also get adikted easily to new things and I worry<br />about adding new things to my already full list of addictions <br /><br />In short, the whole online world and its unbelievable rapid of pace is<br />still too much and scary for many people. There is endless list of<br />advantages & disadvantages, so the more positive stories talked about<br />among the scepticals of us, the more serious E learning will be taken.<br /> People need to be given their own time to embrace technology rather<br />than been forced & rushed into it which seems to be the mentality of<br />its advocates’. Having said all that, without all these wonderful<br />technology, for someone like myself who is visually impaired, would<br />find myself unable to read and write let alone doing a masters degree,<br />employed somewhere or even have platform for social life.<br /><br />YahyeYahye Siyadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684987.post-10009017198717189822011-03-02T21:12:00.066+00:002011-03-02T21:12:00.066+00:00Great we are getting a discussion started, hopeful...Great we are getting a discussion started, hopefully the rest of you in class will post something after you have read the articles featured in the blog post.

Why is so difficult to engage people with this programs? First I believe that there is a question about validity, people is used to attend classroom events and there is a value associated with this events, it seems that online training is not as good, as real... and from my point of view this is because is something new and we are not used to it, our perceptions are created from our education, and our education did not consider technology as a mean to obtain some knowledge but as a tool to help us in our work i.e. ( excel, emails, word..)<br /><br />Second, people feel alone, without support. They see online training as an individual responsibility, with that I mean that an extra effort is required to start the program and keep it going, you need to focus more and you are responsible of your self development which in a lot of cases is hard as you want a facilitator to help you to save some of your own effort into the process, to save some ( mind time).<br /><br />I have experience in one of my former organisations of an online platform with more than 100 courses in different disciplines... engagement levels with this tool are very low... and some of the reasons are the ones mentioned beforeUniversity Studentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6684987.post-26756813830330451902011-02-28T11:25:24.970+00:002011-02-28T11:25:24.970+00:00The success of any training online or facilitator ...The success of any training online or facilitator led is gauged by ROI. The learning, training and development activities in any organisation should be aligned with organisation’s strategic aims and objectives. In order to successfully deliver an online training the organisation should have good infrastructure in place in order to enable virtual or online learning for which the organisation has to incur heavy costs.Hence, to my mind what matters is the quality of deliverable.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480918004280034740noreply@blogger.com
