Abstract

E-learning and the impact of new technologies across contemporary life is a very significant field to education. The challenge of the technology to conventional learning patterns cannot be ignored and in itself raises a host of questions: can online learning facilitate deep learning? How well does video conferencing alleviate the challenge of distance? In what ways can collaborative learning communities be developed and sustained using current and new technologies? At the same time, new communications technologies are impacting on the ways in which we understand ourselves and the worlds in which we live. Relating to this, the aim of today’s education is not to learn certain contents, but rather learn to learn in the course of a whole lifetime. The study of the learning process can help us to find the relevant points to set up some interesting characteristics of a really functional e-learning system.
