Part 3: e-Learning pedagogy


        “Pedagogies integrating ICT can do more
            than enhance learning – they have the
                 potential to transform learning.

           ICT provide tools and environments that
       support interactive conceptual learning,
         focussed on constructing and creating
                                       knowledge”

• stimulate the evolution of  learning theories, for
  example cognitivism
