“The focus has shifted to an interpretation of the project as a vehicle for cultural change using a significant IT implementation programme to facilitate it, rather than primarily an ICT programme”

Cultural change = doing things differently – but why should people and organisations change?
![Page 7: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
If e-learning is a vehicle for changing the culture of
education, who (or what) is the driver?
![Page 8: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Learner autonomy
Informal learning
Constructivism
E-learning as enabler
![Page 9: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
But if e-learning is of only instrumental value something else is driving cultural change.
![Page 10: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Is the driver educational theory….or social change?
![Page 11: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Avoid technological determinism….
![Page 12: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
…and social and educational utopianism
![Page 13: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What matters is what people are doing with technology…

….and how they are changing society - and themselves
![Page 15: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Education should change because people are using it to change the way they work and
live
![Page 16: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
It’s about what we teach as well as how we teach…..
![Page 17: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
….digital natives need teachers
![Page 18: E-LEARNING AS A PROJECT OF CULTURAL CHANGE Ian Chowcat – Project Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/56815891550346895dc5f065/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
So, e-learning is about change:
o People and society not technology and educational theory
o Curriculum rather than pedagogy o The social and economic
relevance of education, not raising attainment
o Rich life chances in a digital world, not technophile utopianism
