Many people now use it, and some learning takes place.
It fails, however, because most of the program developers have not yet learned to take advantage of all the channels of graphical and sensory input that the PC makes available. They have failed to open The Mind s Eye of the learner. And it s in that opening that the real learning takes place. It simply means being able to see yourself in the learning, being able to enter the learning and use your imagination to participate in the story or the lesson. That s why elearning has not received rave reviews from people trying to use it.
