This book has a completely new take on e-learning in higher education, introducing a novel framework which distinguishes between e-learning 1.0 (distribution), e-learning 2.0 (dialogue), and e-learning 3.0 (construction). Through this framework, the use 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 of e-learning by the central framework. The book introduces eight practical examples of e-learning design considerations and e-learning implementations as academic colleagues from around the world present their concrete use-cases of e-learning technologies. The included information will enable readers to use the framework for e-learning and its link to associated learning theories to inform their own design and use of e-learning technologies for the benefit not only of teachers, but also the engagement and learning of students.
