** Achieving access, quality, affordability... and enjoyability! **
Has distance education (DE) morphed into online learning (OL)? Is OL still what it was when the Internet made it possible about 15 years ago? This talk will address recent changes in the field of technology-enhanced learning and identify signs that a new generation of online learning environments is upon us. The crucial role played by educational technology in a knowledge-based society will be highlighted and how and under what conditions 2nd generation OL can not only improve access to lifelong learning but also improve the quality of the learning experience as well as providing greater affordability and enjoyability for learners and instructors.
