Much as the same as us techie's becoming overloaded with 2.0 tools, the same thing seems to be happening with academics and e-learning tools. We throw so many tools at academics that a lot of them dont really know where to begin or how to fit it in with their modules.
There is always going to be the next big thing, but in the sense that average joe lecturer who designs their module, they dont need constantly inundated with e-learning progaganda, recently a few collegues have came up to me and said that they simply dont have the time to look at anything. This is due to staffing reductions and more responsibility being put on them. There seems to be a fine balance of filtering these tools out to everyone, we should give academics a chance to breath..
The worse is when you have multiple tools that basically do the same job, yet we advertise them separetly, all this casue confusion to the user.
Anyway like a tide that will never cease the e-learning onslaught continues..
