Abstract

In order to realize the full potential of E-learning, three modes of learning should be implemented. First, E-learning can support objectivist learning based on the delivery of learning materials to the learners. Second, E-learning has the potential to facilitate active learning emphasized by the constructivist model of instruction, enabling students to construct their own knowledge, instead of passively accepting the information displayed on the screen. Third, E-learning has the potential to support collaborative learning through discussion with fellow learners and instructors. This paper describes a framework for applying objectivist, constructivist, and collaborative learning theories to the design and evaluation of E-learning in software engineering.
