To meet unmet educational needs
What is eLearning for?
![Page 5: ELearning Trends and Challenges John Beaumont, CEO UK eUniversities Worldwide Monday 14 April 2003](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649e245503460f94b124b0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
First GenerationeLearning
Online courses as direct analogues of conventionally-delivered coursesReplicating course structure, elements and delivery
Incorporate existing support materials
Delivery dependent on course originator
Not scalable
Always inferior to original course
“Horseless carriages”

Second GenerationeLearningOnline courses purpose designed for mediumSame top-level learning outcomes
Educationally derived, precept-driven design methodology
Team developed not faculty led
Course requires mentoring not teaching when delivered
Fully scalable

Third Generation eLearningOnline education that does not adhere to course conventionsCourse is an artificial construct born of practicality –
old constraints no longer apply
ExamplesLearning pathways through knowledge management
