Bridging the Disconnect: An E-Learning Manifesto

This first draft of "An E-Learning Manifesto" was conceived and written by one of the Community Tools subgroups formed during the CILT1999 conference. The document seeks to:
  • reconstruct a vision of the Internet as a nurturing, learning community;
  • describe the competing agendas that threaten the individual learner in this environment, and
  • propose a set of guiding principles and best practices for those seeking to contribute to the development of Internet as a living ecosystem, the central purpose of which is to promote individual and communal growth.
The Manifesto will be presented and opened for revision during the CILT2000 conference. Meanwhile, we welcome your comments and suggestions.
