New Potential To Renew Pedagogy ?
What are the conditions ?
Internet's Third Wave
First wave: STATIC TEXT and DATA EXCHANGE
-
Primarily static HTML pages: text and data services
-
Email, FTP, forum (asychronous communication)
Second wave: DYNAMIC MULTIMEDIA
-
Dynamic pages, ASP, JSP
-
Facilitated transfer of images, sound and video
-
Desktop audio/video conference
Third wave: SEMANTIC and PROGRAMMABLE
-
Integration of applications, API enabled by web services
-
Ex: Google Alerts, Amazon's API
-
Distributed computing, P2P, and mobile networking
-
Semantic web and knowledege-based technologies
-
Open source, sharing of objects and applications
-
New generation of Distributed Learning Environments

Obstacles and Challenges
Technical Challenges
-
Generic Software
-
Separated tools
-
Integrated Suite
-
Interoperability at the OS level
-
DL System
-
Separated Tools
-
LMS, LCMS
-
Web services interoperability
Pedagogical Challenges
-
The object paradigm is economical, flexible and forces pedagogical re-
evaluation
-
Attach more importance to communication and learning activities than medias,
documents or content
-
Separate content object from use scenarios and learning environments
-
Reusability must protect good quality learning scenarios
-
Reuse of learning models can bring more than just recycling content.
Cultural Obstacles
-
Lecturing instead of facilitating learning
-
The library "course"
-
Lack of pedagogical training of the majority of teachers
-
Reproduce the way we have been taught
-
IP vs Open Source
-
Collaboration between content creator and institutions
