CULTIVATING AN eLEARNING CULTURE

Jose Lloyd D. Espiritu, Kiran S. Budhrani

Emerging technologies have hugely shifted the behavior of students, reshaped teaching methods and challenged traditional learning structures. The influx of technology in schools is non-negotiable. However, the education sector consisting of major stakeholders including teachers, parents, school administrators, employers and the government agencies are known for being extremely slow in adapting emerging technologies into learning. Consequently, eLearning has not taken off. If students are to fully benefit from eLearning and what emerging technologies can offer, the authors argue that all stakeholders need to be involved in cultivating an eLearning culture. This paper begins with analyzing the issues that each stakeholder group is currently facing, followed by a synthesis on global trends and innovations in technology and pedagogy and finally provides recommendations that each stakeholder group can use.
