The experience is captivating, memorable, and lasting. Now let’s compare this to our educational systems.
too much research that deals with perceptions, perspectives, experiences of learners in small cases with little obvious relevance beyond the case- heavily interpretivist in orientation - qualitative methods more needed on organizational issues, policy issues, change management, innovationn- research hasn't adequately addressed emergence of new technologies and impact on design of DE, i.e, the PLN, edupunk etc- lack of historical perspective - a lot of what people think is new is not: edupunk = self directed learning; online learning is often not considered as part of DE (see Garrison's article in JDE); e-learning is treated as something new and different serious problem: can't think of a single research article that has influence my practice in the last 10 yrs- partly due to ed research being part of the university model of research - not required to be practical, funding doesn't require it.- need funding that is tied to practical outputs- need research that focuses on applied learning contexts- research needs to be part of practice. Currently they are separate activities
