2. So dudes and dudettes, E-
learning should finally evolve
from mere content uploading to
earn a name, ‘E-learning 2.0.’

3. True, bro.

But why are the usual comments that I
hear with e-learning still like “How can I
upload my content and design my quizzes?”
4. And sure Stephen, the Internet has
evolved, 2.0 and whatnot, but isn’t the
majority of e-learning still quite badly
designed and just plain …

So, there’s like a media revolution or
something happening on the Web x.0.
I hear people are ‘inter-acting’ in big
numbers and stuff.
6. Zie Internet is full of stuff to
learn from, and people to learn
with.

Isn’t the Internet opening
whole new ways of connecting
the students with the world?
What he said, but in
writing (and with a couple
of thoughts of my own)
Dudes, I think there’s logic in this.
The world is growingly online,
let us then empirically observe
and experience ‘online’.
10. Hee hee, a funny comment that the
learners could use open web platforms
1. with often better usability,
2. which they already use to interact,
also for learning (with a capital L)!
How funny is
that?!

Like, totally not
happening!

12. Alas! New enemies lurk in the
East…(errm, actually the West)

13. …the question of
open access learning…
So people, “to MOOC or not to
MOOC”, or is that even the question?
We need to be
rigorous!
We’ll just stare away,
perhaps it goes away!
I’m ready for some
MOOCin’ if you are:
“MOOC, MOOC, MOOC!”
MOOC?
I don’t have anything
to say, but… MOOC!
Did someone just
say “money”?
OMG, we are
already late!!!!

I’m here just for
the picture, man.
14. …human learning is
no longer just text.

Damn, once again they
misunderstood something.
Where’s the poisonous chalice
this time?
“One of the penalties for
refusing to participate in
politics is that you end up being
governed by your inferiors.”
Why just interact with
the ‘text’ when we can
interact in various ways?
17. …students no longer expect or
want predigested information and
prestructured learning events.

…and the burning question of
personalized learning
18. Who said that?!
Who dares to question
the assembly line?!
