From e-learning to Web-learning:placeless, connected, expansible, flexible,
effective learning
Premises and objectives
• What are the objectives of this course?– The main objective of this course is to expose the
participants / (emulating) students, to a vast body of knowledge and competences on the different uses of ICT (information and communication technologies) throughout the globe, focusing especially on
– new learning methods based on the – ubiquitous worldwideweb. This is what we call – web-learning. Much of the class focuses on discussion
based on readings assigned out of class.
Premises and objectives
• What are the objectives of this course?– Another objective of this course is to give students
hands-on experience with: • web 2.0 / web 3.0 tools to cope with the complexity of
the cloud based, ubiquitous, new style of knowledge management; • with international practices of web-learning through
web technology; with a critical analysis of what our students are exposed to in their nomadic usage of the Web.
Premises and objectives
• What are the objectives of this course?–Throughout the course, during this week,
we work on:• globally-based projects • that leverage the benefits of information
and communication technologies • to positively affect many diverse learning
community.
Premises and objectives
• What are the objectives of this course?
• How will be achieved?
premises
• How will be achieved?In grasping experience some of us perceive new information through experiencing the concrete, tangible, felt qualities of the world, relying on our senses and immersing ourselves in concrete reality.
Others tend to perceive, grasp, or take hold of new information through symbolic representation or abstract conceptualization – thinking about, analyzing, or systematically planning, rather than using sensation as a guide.
Similarly, in transforming or processing experience some of us tend to carefully watch others who are involved in the experience and reflect on what happens, while others choose to jump right in and start doing things. The watchers favor reflective observation, while the doers favor active experimentation.
premises
• How will be achieved?Each dimension of the learning process presents us with a choice. Since it is virtually impossible, for example, to simultaneously • drive a car (Concrete Experience) and • analyze a driver’s manual about the car’s functioning (Abstract
Conceptualization), we resolve the conflict by choosing. Because of our hereditary equipment, our particular past life experiences, and the demands of our present environment, we develop a preferred way of choosing.
We resolve the conflict between concrete or abstract and between active or reflective in some patterned, characteristic ways.
We call these patterned ways “learning styles.”

Web learning: basics
• What is the WorldWideWeb?• When it was developed?• Who controls its progress and its evolution?
• Why the web is so fast-growing?• Why a teacher / learner should learn about
the WorldWideWeb?
WorldWideWeb=learning
• You are using e-mail: e-mail started since 1970• You are using e-learning: e-learning started in
1980• 2010 and forward: you will probably use web-
learning: where the web 2.0-3.0 and ease of use are bridging together to enhance teaching and learning activities
WorldWideWeb=learning• Tim Berners – Lee (aka TimBL) is the Tim
Berners - Lee - inventor of the WorldWideWeb - was the latest “maieuta” and incubator of an old idea: making knowledge accessible to all and giving everyone the opportunity to actively contribute to the progress and the spread of knowledge.
• He proceeds on a path already marked by Socrates, Galileo, Kant, Newton, above all, in modern educational thought, by Maria Montessori, Jean Piaget and Seymour Papert.
WorldWideWeb=learning• Seymour Papert, the inventor of the "Logo
Turtle", worked until recently in the same Computer Science Lab at MIT where now Tim Berners-Lee works leading the W3C.
• It is no coincidence that it is precisely Seymour Papert which launched in 2001, the OpenCourseWare project.
• In 1999 the rector of the MIT entrusted Seymour Papert with the responsibility to lead MIT in the turning point of the millennium for University and academic institutions in the world: facing with the challenge of the open learning on the Web, the so called e-learning

WorldWideWeb=learning• Seymour Papert gave then his advice at the end
of a year long commission activities on the issue. • We should not talk of eLearning as trying to coin a
specification of “Learning”• Every university, every college is working since
ever in enabling learning openly, universally and according to democracy principles.
• We should only grasp all the new opportunity offered by the Digital Revolution
• The project Open Knowledge Initiative (OKI) is the result of this MIT Commission
• The OS project OpenCourseware started according to this principles.
