Very common problem addressed here: expecting the technology to do the teaching.

As adults we look at an empty cardboard box and see it as a storage
device. Somewhere to put 'stuff'. As children we looked at that same
cardboard box and saw a plane. A car. A train. An adventure waiting to
happen. What happened to our own creativity? It seems like we get
confronted by a 'virtual learning environment' and think that's enough.
The learning will happen regardless of the effort we put into it.
Wrong! So, so wrong! When eLearning works, it's an amazing,
interesting, vibrant, evolving, engaging, rich space. When it's just a
shell. A place to download PowerPoints... boy oh boy is it a sad bag.-

People are quick to blame the tool, rather than looking first at their own
behavior with it.
