Where Is the Learning in E-Learning?: A Critical Analysis of the E-Learning Industry

Overview Technologies such as Learning Management Systems (LMS) and Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS) are like vending machines. While it is important that they work well, what is more important is what they dispense. Having a LMS or a LCMS without effective online instruction will not produce any significant learning results, in spite of industry hype to the contrary. The problems of e-learning are not about the quality of the software that launches, tracks and reports on educational materials (although there are great variations in the features and quality of such software), but lie elsewhere.
