Anywhere; any time?

We all know that e-learning claims to offer the student the chance to study anywhere, and to study at any time.  Don't we?

So why is there so much emphasis on live online interactions? 

Video conferencing, live seminars, live online lectures...
... they all require the student to be online at that time!

In other words, if you really believe students should be able to learn at any time then the above live activities do not help the student to do that.

To allow the student to really learn at any time e-learning providers need to get smarter and innovate.

  2. Of course videos of lectures can be archived to a server so that a student can view those at a time that is suitable for them.
