All learning depends on knowledge. It is odd therefore that people who write about e-learning rarely worry about the knowledge bases that must underlie any serious e-learning system. Schools have always had libraries and textbooks, not that they are used all that much. But the idea that there should be a knowledge base available to be consulted to help one better understand something is a key educational idea.

    the article is very inforrmative and it brings to light about the efforts which are being taken to enable the students for higher education and to benefit the community at large.myself being from e-governence background and living in ksa, i find it as a great example of use of'ict'.

    The openning statement as a cach phrase is very disturbing and overlooks other learning theories.

    To my librarian''s ear, this sounds remarkably like a library. Stories, organized and indexed--a library.

    This moves info sharing into the oldest form of teaching. How would "keeper of the stories" --experts--be designated?
