The tipping point

Abstract

How delightful that Pam Moule (2007) has taken the trouble to challenge the fivestage model for e-learning! I would hate to think that the model has served to cut off any discourses about e-learning at a time of huge potential for the future of higher and professional education. No one benefits by any model being taken or used uncritically or out of context or culture. The challenges we face in providing exciting, worthwhile and effective learning through whatever medium grow daily. I would be so pleased if others could respond too, so that this model, first developed more than 12 years ago in a different era but since used extensively, could continue to be further examined for relevance and helpfulness.
