  • The 'seven deadly sins' of e-learning
  • Well, according to Dr Karen Becker, a lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology with a PhD in ‘Unlearning in the Workplace’, many people need to unlearn past behaviours before they can accept that e-learning is a powerful teaching and learning tool.

    • Try using your expert power to engage people in an easy, non-confrontational manner, allowing them to embrace e-learning within their comfort zone.
    • using solid research or e-learning case studies to show how e-learning could make a significant difference to your learners and organisation.
    • It’s important to be upfront and to discuss with staff and learners the disruptions they might experience. A good way to minimise disruption is to conduct trials of technology before a tool is rolled out on a larger scale.
