Leadership+and+e-Learning

It is one thing to have innovative technology and preach about its ability to transform and revolutionize learning, it is another to actually make this happen within traditional, structured education and training environments. Sound leadership and change management skills are key to implementing the use of new educational technologies to support e learning programs and foster transformation. While leadership, reform and change management have been well studied and documented in the literature, little has been written about the role leaders play in the success or failure of e-learning program design, development and implementation. Traditional theoretical and practical constructs do not adequately reflect emerging e-learning environments, yet one theory, transformational leadership theory, does provide insight into fundamental assumptions about change, control, order, organizations, people and leadership in e learning program implementation. Promising research affirms the critical role of leadership in systemic change for e-learning design, development and delivery, and confirms that without a clear vision combined with collaborative leadership organizations could end up committing precious resources to the development and deployment of courses for e-learning without much success.
