Kennys New Book

Kenneth Fees new book - Delivering E-Learning: a complete strategy for design, application and assessment - was published on 03 April 2009, and is available on Amazon.

Some of the issue Kenny expects to be a bit controversial, and stir up some interest include:

1. A new way of understanding e-learning, as an approach that encompasses all new methods of learning utilising digital technology.

2. Identification of five distinct models of e-learning – and there may be more.

3. A matrix for considering the impact of different kinds of e-learning.

4. A call for more strategic thinking about e-learning.

5. Condemnation of techies for overuse of misleading jargon.

6. Condemnation of e-learning vendors for misleading clients and “vandalising the market”.

7. Dismissal of e-learning technology standards as largely irrelevant.

8. A new model for e-learning design – the “route map”.

Other interesting features of the book include: foreword by Bill McGrath; a “virtual round table” discussion; an illustrative project; a glossary of technical terms; consideration of how to evaluate e-learning; an annotated bibliography; and a look at what the future may hold.

Also, it seems that I get a mention!

Also of interest, it looks like Kennys re-introduced the "-".
