In The Netherlands, a small country, happens quiet a lot about e-learning I think. There are special organizations like SURF, see my last post, and Kennisbank http://www.hbo-kennisbank.nl/nl/page/page.view/hbo_about.page (Knowledge-bank), there are many edubloggers. On the other hand there are very much lecturers, teachers, educators who have never heart of the concept Web 2.0 or never thought about using [...]
