Education leaders frequently turn to technological solutions to improve schools, often without evidence of their effectiveness. According to Victoria Cain and Adam Laats, this pattern of leaders pouring money into new technological systems and then being disappointed in the results goes back centuries. They describe how, in the early 1800s, Lancastrian schoolrooms captured the public imagination and how, in the 1950s and ‘60s, were seen as a solution to current educational ills. These examples provide a warning to those who see online education as a silver bullet.

技术炒作的历史

教育领导者经常寻求技术解决方案来改善学校，但往往没有证据表明其有效性。根据维多利亚·凯恩（Victoria Cain）和亚当·拉特（Adam Laats）的说法，这种领导者向新技术系统投入资金，然后对结果失望的这种模式可以追溯到几个世纪以前。他们描述了在1800年代初期，兰开斯特式的教室如何吸引了公众的想象力，以及在1950年代和60年代如何将其视为解决当前教育弊端的方法。这些示例向那些将在线教育视为灵丹妙药的人们提供了警告。
