Activity 2.2 – A Behaviourist Approach
What effect might generalising have in e-Learning contexts?
In an e-Learning context, generalising can have quite a negative effect as it can limit learning. For example, a lot of my friends have refused to activate facebook as they don’t see it as any more than a waste of time and an avenue to “stalk” other people. Having this narrow minded view of facebook, and social networking sites in general, would deny them of the view of social networking sites as tools that can facilitate learning. Thus learning is restricted as different modes of delivery are restricted because generalisations about them may exist which could lead to reservations about the technologies.
On the other hand though, it can be positive if the generalisations are positive.
