Mission Impossible

This blog comment is related to Olga Caprotti's blog entry "Mission Accomplished."

We are in the business of advancing the use of information technology in education. At times I feel that this is a Mission Impossible. It may be just as easy for us to advance the use of ICT in education as it is to advance the arriving of a summer in Finland by melting some of the snow and ice away by hot water. Things happen at their due time, and then with great force. In Finland, winter turns into spring, and spring into summer just in a few weeks. The hot water, that we used as kids, has absolutely no effect in the process.

At the Trondheim meeting talks about the EUROPEAN VIRTUAL LABORATORY OF MATHEMATICS were given. Talks were good. It seems, however, that many people talk the talk but do not walk the walk. The European Virtual Laboratory's hit counter reports today, that it has received 3471 hits. This is a repository set up by Community funding within the Leonardo Programme. The data seems to be since last October.

This statistics means that nobody is using the Web Site, not even the creators of the site. I get that many hits just in a day or two to my online calculus course. And I consider this just scratching the surface.

Our Mission Impossible is now "How to Break the Enormous Inertia of the Academia" to improve education, to make it more affordable, and to make it much more accessible.
