1. Topic 7: eLearning and Libraries: Natural Convergences in a Networked Environment第七讲：电子学习与图书馆：网络环境下的自然汇合 Dianne Cmor and Peter Sidorko

2. Is it worth the effort?努力是否有价值？ • “When it comes to higher teacher and student productivity and a transformation of teaching and learning ... there is little ambiguity. Both must be tagged as failures. Computers have been oversold and underused, at least for now.” • 「若提到教师与学生生产力提升以及教学转型……情况十分清晰。两者均须视作失败。计算机超卖却未充分利用，至少目前如是。 • Cuban, Larry. Oversold and Underused: Computers in the Classroom. Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2001, p. 179.

32. Exercise: Developing & Supporting eLearning • Thinking about your own institution, what opportunities and challenges face the library in developing/supporting e-learning? • Some possible considerations: • Is there an institutional strategy? Does the Library have a role in it? • What strengths/weaknesses exist at your institution in developing/supporting eLearning? (commitment level, physical resources, computing resources, human resources & expertise) • What strengths/weaknesses exist at your library in developing/supporting eLearning? (same as above!) • What could you offer TODAY to support eLearning at your institution? • What could you offer one year from now?
