  2. Outline • Disruptive technologies or pedagogies? • Why e-learning? • E-learning timeline • Emergent technologies • Focus on • Social media and open practices • OER and MOOCs • Learning Design

  3. Disruptive technologies or pedagogies? Changing educational paradigms – Ken Robinson

  4. Why e-learning? • For learning • Potential to support interaction, communication and collaboration • Developing digital literacy skills • Promoting different pedagogical approaches • Fostering creativity and innovation • Connecting students beyond the formal course • For life • Preparing students for an uncertain future • Improving employability opportunities • Increased importance of technology in society

  5. Learning can be achieved by: Interaction Communication & Collaboration Through OER & MOOCs Social Media Facilitated by: Learning Design Leading to: New support and accreditation models
