12 March 2003 Variable costs tend to increase or decrease directly (often linearly) with fluctuations in the volume of activity. In traditional distance education delivery, the distribution of packages of self-instructional materials (printed study guides, audiotapes, videotapes, etc) is a variable cost, which varies in direct proportion to the number of students enrolled.

The Potential of e-Learning
12 March 2003 The Potential of e-Learning From transmission to transaction From the independent learner to the inter-dependent learner Estonia Video Conference
37
Brown & Duguid (2000) emphasised the importance of regarding learning as a social act:
“Practice is an effective teacher, and community of practice an ideal learning environment.”
38
Relevant Instructional Design Theories
ZPD: Zone of proximal development (Vygotsky, 1978; 1981) Reflective practitioner (Schon, 1987) Communities of practice (Brown, Collins & Duguid, 1989) Situated cognition (Lave & Wenger, 1991)
39
Lave & Wenger (1991) emphasised the importance of the social context in which the learner is immersed, and learning as legitimate peripheral participation in a community of practice.
40
In the online context, legitimate peripheral participation has become associated with the term “Lurker”. “One of the “silent majority” in an electronic forum; one who posts occasionally or not at all but is known to read the group's postings regularly.” (The Jargon dictionary, 2002)

43
12 March 2003 Outcome The academic performance of the lurkers was on average not much less than that of the workers, thereby supporting the notion of learning as legitimate peripheral participation. Estonia Video Conference

virtual cohorts of students.
12 March 2003 E-Learning Futures The success of the lurkers augurs well for the use of e-learning facilitated by intelligent databases and the flexibility inherent in interacting with virtual cohorts of students. Estonia Video Conference
