Una mappa per l’e-learning

Abstract

A Map for E-learning

The three dimensions of the conceptual representation proposed here for e-learning are technological, educational and epistemological. The opposition between traditional and progressive education nowadays does not mean that technology is the solution to pedagogical problems. Learning experiences can be organized in different ways, none of them decided by the technology used. We have to know that online learning poses not only educational challenges, but also major problems in terms of technology, epistemology and didactics. The purpose of this work is to build a multi-dimensional map that will be useful to identify and analyze different e-learning projects and products, both the traditional and the innovative ones. The universities will increasingly have to deal with such problems in the future, and should be able to solve them with big changes in their identity. Are MOOCs the way for these changes? It is too early to decide. That is why we need maps and experiences.
