JISC e-Learning Models Desk Study Stage 2 : Review of e-learning theories , frameworks and models

Abstract

This review is designed to inform practitioners, policy developers and other stakeholders who want to reflect more deeply upon their practice or gain a greater understanding about how theory and practice can be mapped together. It is argued that reforming practice requires transformations of understanding of principles that are assumed sometimes implicitly in the practices. This review offers a framework for understanding where a particular implementation of e-learning is positioned in the complex current landscape of technology-enhanced teaching in UK HE/FE. It does so by attempting to offer a set of questions to be posed of an e-learning development.
