Researchers tell traditional universities to ignore e-learning ‘at their peril’ - Derek du Preez, Computerworld UK

"Online learning will continue to challenge the traditional learning models and universities around the world will ignore this at their peril. They need to embrace such disruptive trends and seek to leverage their intellectual and social capital as well as their international standing and alliances to exploit this trend," said Professor Atta Badii, Director of the Intelligent Systems Research Laboratory, who leads the INTUITEL research at Reading. "This is an opportunity to re-invent university provision, offering new accredited programmes to support the increasing number of lifelong learners throughout the world via platforms for innovative flexible anywhere anytime learning." http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/enterprise/3414216/researchers-tell-traditional-universities-ignore-e-learning-at-their-peril/?olo=rss
