2. Let’s begin by asking…

3. What is
Education?

4. Education is just…

5. a story of stories.

6. Someone
wants
to
tell
them

7. Someone
wants
to
listen
to
them

8. Education happens

9. when you put together…

10. someone
who wants
to teach

11. +
someone
who wants
to learn

13. It is a simple equation.

14. You have
the time
abc and place
TIME t1 of the
PLACE p1 teacher
Teacher

15. And
the time
and place abc
of the t2 TIME
student p2 PLACE
Student

16. abc abc
t1 t2
p1 p2
Teacher Student

17. Traditional Education
abc abc
t1 = t2
p1 = p2
In traditional education both
times and places are equal

21. Virtual Education
WWW
abc abc
t1 = t2
p1 = p2
In virtual education times
or places can be different

22. WWW
abc abc
And the connection is…

23. WWW
Technology

25. But virtual education

26. has been around for centuries.

28. Teachers and students

29. in different times and places

30. have been connected

31. by a technology called

32. Books!

33. With this
ancient
technology

34. someone in
one time
and place

35. can tell a
story

36. to someone
in a
different
time and
place.

37. Hopefully…

38. Successful education

39. was based on «expert users»

40. of this ancient technology.

41. That is
good
readers
and
good
writers

42. That is:
good readers and good writers

43. Yesterday:

44. Reading
+
Writing
Berthe Morisot (1870) Johannes Vermeer (1670)

45. Today:

46. Recording
+
Playing
back

47. The process is the same

48. The tools are different

49. Different Media Different Speeds

50. When education
has a time and a place

51. We have
a course

52. A course is a place

53. where you can go

55. to listen to a story

56. Then a course is

57. One story

58. One story
+
One host

59. One story
+
One host
+
Several guests

64. But today we have

65. New principles
The Materials
Atoms vs. Bits
Processing Information
vs. Moving Objects
Intangibles
Collective Knowledge
Generation of Ideas
Gil Bruvel
Overinformation
Misinformation

66. New principles
The Place
Distance is redefined
Frontiers are obsolete
The World is your audience
and your competitor
Challenges and threats Gil Bruvel
are closer…
one click apart

67. New principles
The Time
Instantaneous
Interactive / Feedback
Real time / Multitasking
Constant Change
Gil Bruvel
A Life Project
vs. A Life of Projects

68. ¡Help!

69. There is a new arena

70. for this ongoing conversation

71. between teachers and students.

73. The virtual classroom

74. WWW
Virtual Campus
Virtual Classroom
Activities Resources
• Discussions • Links
• Questionnaires • Readings
• Homework • Learning Objects
• Glossaries Files
• Chats • Folders
• Blogs • Documents
• Wikis • Videos / Audios

75. A place full of tools

76. for the host to find new ways

78. to tell the story

79. A story can be told in sequence
Virtual Classroom

80. Or not…
Virtual Classroom

82. It can be full of
resources
Readings
Audios
Links Videos
Simulations
Learning objects

83. And activities
Glossaries
Wikis
Discussions
Blogs
Chats
Questionnaires
Homework
Puzzles

84. But it will
be lifeless

85. without an
active
interaction

86. of all the
participants

88. So the
resources

89. and
activities

90. are
important

91. but not as
important

92. as
creating

93. A community

94. I think that sums up what e-Learning
is all about…
