PEDAGOGICAL
CONSIDERATIONS
E-learning for 21st Century Learning
Individuals learn and work in a networked environment. As a result, learners do not have control over what they learn since others in the network continually change information, and that requires new learning, unlearning old information, and/or learning current information –George Siemens (2004)
Learning is based on the premise that knowledge exists in the
world rather than in the head of an individual and learning is
not under the control of the learner. – Stephen Downes (2006)
Connectivism

E-learning for 21st Century Learning
The trend of e-learning has put
pressure among universities
and academic institution to
compete in an environment
where globalisation of learning is
becoming a reality through the
delivery of their
courses on the Internet.

Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is the business revolution in the
computer industry caused by the move to
the internet as platform, and an attempt to
understand the rules for success on that new
platform. Chief among those rules is this: Build
applications that harness network effects to get better the more people use them. (This is what I've elsewhere called "harnessing
collective intelligence.")

The Internet has become the computer. Tens of millions of Americans, especially the young, are creating

others. Many are sharing what they know and what they feel online. People are commenting and sharing their knowledge and
content online. Americans are customizing their content and online experience,
thanks to Web 2.0.
