The "e" in "e-learning" troubles me. As long as it's there, "e-learning" will always seem like something separate from "learning".
Some other words I don't like:
Some other words I don't like:
- E-resource (seemingly anything online can be an e-resource)
- Module (to refer to a lesson or unit)
- Virtual learning environment (does learning occur "virtually" on it and not in reality?)
- Learning management system (Big Brother would certainly like such a system connected through single-sign-on to his Mind Control Management System)
- Learning platform (I don't think we need to say "online learning platform" anymore. We are in the age of the platform after all.)
- Lesson (with words such as online, interactive, downloadable, etc. to describe it)
- Document, spreadsheet, slide set
- Quiz (with words such as multiple-choice, adaptive, timed, automatically scored, etc. to describe it)
- Assignment
- Forum
- Unit (which may contain content and activities)
- Course (as long as it's used to refer to a proper course and not just a set of "e-learning modules"--gah!)
