David alexander nnu the 5 big mistakes of virtual educationDavidAlexanderNNU
Education occurs when someone wants to teach and someone wants to learn. While traditional education requires teachers and students to be in the same physical place and time, virtual education allows them to be in different places through the use of technology like the internet (WWW) or books. Some schools are making mistakes in virtual education by treating it as massive education rather than individualized learning, making it too complex, prioritizing technology over pedagogy, underestimating teachers and students, and taking the fun out of education. Schools should focus on the interaction between teachers and students and allow flexibility rather than standardization.
