From E-learning to ebologna in an augmented reality the past and the future of e-learning in german higher education

Abstract

The article reconstructs the development of E-Learning in German higher education. It traces E-Learning from the end of the 1990s up to the current perspective of an eBologna, which is defined by an European-wide international mobile learning. In this context digital media are not part of an 'E-Learning' as distinguished from an 'analog learning.' Rather, mobile learning uses the ubiquity of the internet as an additional media dimension through which we can perceive the world and which opens up new learning worlds. The polydirectional and collaborative features of digital media could be used, to establish an European-wide international co-teaching and co-learning in higher education.
