Becoming a Network Organization
Abstract:
The integration of online learning into higher education programs has focused on providing teaching staff with the concepts and skills necessary to use the centrally run learning management systems. This has been useful for making the technology transparent for teaching staff that have never had exposure to developing web-based environments. Teaching staff have often expressed excitement at having the power to design and publish their own online content, and the ability to develop their own online learning activities without the constraints of the lecture-tutorial-assessment format. But why aren't these resources being provided for the learners? Criticism of learning management systems from teaching staff come when attempts are made to design learner-centred online activities that are collaborative, reflective, experiential, participatory and networked across a wider community of peers or experts. In the majority of cases, online learning environments turn out to be nothing more than an electronic version of course readers and unit outlines (Sudweeks, 2003). It is within the context of networked learning that learning management systems become awkward for both teaching staff and their learners. Learning management systems give teachers the control panel, not the learners.
