9. Progresses of Learning Resource Sharing Technologies 3

10. Deficiencies of Current Learning Technologies 3
 Born in Web1.0 era
 Only supports one-way information
communication
 More focus on formal learning, less on
informal learning

11. Deficiencies of Current Learning Technologies 3
 Emphasize learning resources and
activities sharing in a close structure
 Ignores the continuous updating of learning
resources
 Ignores dynamic and generative connection of
learning resources
 Ignores building up dynamic relationships
between learners and teachers with learning
resources
