This book has acompletely new take on e-learning in higher education, introducing a novelframework which distinguishes between e-learning 1.0 (distribution), e-learning2.0 (dialogue), and e-learning 3.0 (construction). Through this framework, theuse 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 ofe-learning by the central framework. Readers are invited to reflect on thelearning theories underlying their own e-learning design practices. The book introduceseight practical examples of e-learning design considerations and e-learningimplementations as academic colleagues from around the world present theirconcrete use-cases of e-learning technologies.E-learning 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 will enable readers to use the framework fore-learning and its link to associated learning theories to inform their owndesign and use of e-learning technologies – for the benefit not only of teachers,but also the engagement and learning of students.
