Paper Abstract:
|
Several trends bring about different thinking patterns about higher education. Universities are under permanent pressure
to change by means of online technology. In this paper the attitudes of more than ten thousand Belgian students and
educators towards e-learning and educational renewal are scrutinized. Findings show both groups tend to be conservative,
which is reflected in their teaching and learning practice; no significant changes due to internet use were reported.
Expectations about the future are centred around the extension of technical possibilities but not educational change. At
the current state of affairs and taking into account the views on the future, it seems that e-learning will never replace the
traditional settings in Flanders. |
