This book has a
completely new take on e-learning in higher education, introducing a novel
framework which distinguishes between e-learning 1.0 (distribution), e-learning
2.0 (dialogue), and e-learning 3.0 (construction). Through this framework, the
use of e-learning is actively linked to three theoretical perceptions of learning:
1.0 (behavioural learning theory), 2.0 (cognitive learning theory), and 3.0
(social learning theory).



E-learning 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 guides the reader through the design and use of
e-learning by the central framework. Readers are invited to reflect on the
learning theories underlying their own e-learning design practices. The book introduces
eight practical examples of e-learning design considerations and e-learning
implementations as academic colleagues from around the world present their
concrete use-cases of e-learning technologies.



E-learning 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 will enable readers to use the framework for
e-learning and its link to associated learning theories to inform their own
design and use of e-learning technologies – for the benefit not only of teachers,
but also the engagement and learning of students.
