Talk and Chalk Digital

Abstract

Is e-learning a modern or, better, a digital version of the already traditional "talking...talking... and chalk" which we witness in the model classroom?Are we not merely reproducing in a digital way the same traditional education models which are known to us, ignoring the means and possibilities of methodological and curricular innovation which interactive technologies allow?Are we not repeating the same phenomenon which occurred during the early 80s with the emerging of Informatics laboratories - hermetically closed classrooms with a large number of aligned computers -, which in practice did nothing but copy the same model of lessons given in the classroom with traditional desks?How can we estimulate the teachers to use authoring tools to create their own online courses and disciplines focusing in the content managing of the knowledge?
