PEDAGOGICAL
CONSIDERATIONS

18. 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

19. A Challenge for Schools
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.

25. 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.")
