  • “Students do not learn much just sitting in classes listening to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers.

They must make what they learn part of themselves.” – Arthur W. Chickering and Stephen C. Ehrmann

  • “E-Learning is changing. And, we will see new models, new technologies and designs emerge. So, let’s drop the “e” – or at least give it a new and wider definition.” – Elliot Masie
  • “We need to bring learning to people instead of people to learning.” – Elliot Masie
  • “People often tout interactivity as the great benefit offered by eLearning, yet most interactivity does nothing to either engage or instruct.” – Ethan Edwards
  • “Teaching in the Internet age means we must teach tomorrow’s skills today.” – Jennifer Fleming
  • “Think about what your learners need to do with that information after the course is finished and design around that.” – Matthew Guyan
  • “If learners think it looks bad, you may have lost a good percentage of the battle in getting them to pay attention.” – Patti Shank
