Life-long Learning - Transformational eLearning


‘The concept of getting and holding a job in one industry for decades is outmoded, a byproduct of the industrial mindset’ (Tom Peters June 2014).
It is important to view school based eLearning within the continuum of lifelong learning. In other words, eLearning structures should be considered within a life-long adventure and a natural part of personal transformation rather than a segmented fix satisfying the needs of a specific period of time. Presently, eLearning services are overwhelmingly rooted to the industrial mindset which is primarily focussed on content and assessment. Whilst, content and assessment remain important elements they should no longer be perceived as a finite identifier of a good eLearning service. Learning is far more complex.


To enable lifelong learning skills, contemporary eLearning systems need to address disconnection, work conditions and behavioural learning skills.
  1. Disconnection: The mechanics of eLearning courses often disconnect the user once enrolment ceases. Courses, learning programs, units of work and or modules should be viewed as a continuum within a ‘portfolio of projects’ (Peters 99U). Flexible enrollment processes need to be enabled to allow our youth access to the workforce and to continuation of learning.
  2. Work Conditions: The efficient corporate office should not be employed as a model for school eLearning environments. The eLearning environment should be rich bio-diverse experience crafted to stimulate cognitive activity.
  3. Behavioural Learning Skills: The symbiotic relationship between students acquiring the behavioural learning skills to successfully participate and the actual eLearning service knowing and enticing continual participation requires consideration and implementation.

Is Hollywood Rewriting History

  Is Hollywood Rewriting History? Reflecting on Cultural Identity This video explores the potential distortion of historical narratives through a Hollywood lens. I grapple with questions of authenticity, colonial legacy, and the importance of preserving cultural nuances in storytelling. Join me in this discussion on representation and the power of who gets to tell the story. Keywords: Hollywood cultural appropriation Filipino history storytelling authenticity colonialism in film resistance narratives Our Hollywood Heroes are on Fire We dream of parallel universes where Hollywood heroes and colonial adventurers of the 19th century coexist. These adventurers were cultural conquerors, erasing borders and reshaping narratives to fit the dominant worldview. Hollywood continues this tradition, reworking stories to fit the familiar and shaping our perceptions of reality. We must question the stories we are told, lest we become complicit in subtly reshaping history and perpetuating distorted n

Choices and Daily Rituals

  Video: Choices and Daily Rituals Story: I see them daily, following the same routine, saying the same things, and living the same day repeatedly. They take identical pictures and check their reflections on every surface. The world is vast, full of opportunities and choices, but they, like me, wear dark glasses as they go through life. I wish I could shake myself and realise the chances I'm missing, but I'm in a trance, convinced that this narrow path is all there is. Existence keeps moving on, and it pains me that I can't see past the capital waste. We could achieve so much if we didn't sit on the fence and merely comment on each other. But here I am, watching this play with the spectators, where the power to change the script is on the tip of our tongues, yet we decide not to say it. Description: Dive into the profound narrative of life in repetition, where each day mirrors the last. This exploration goes beyond the surface, questioning the comfort of routine and the
