eLearning 2.0 Technologies and Concepts

eLearning 1.0 Ecosystem and eLearning 2.0 Ecosystem

eLearning is a strategy for learning that employs a wide range of technologies, tools and systems to support increase knowledge and improve skills at times and on terms defined by each learner.
eLearning Ecosystem is defined as learning communities with learners and educators in different roles, interacting with each other to perform learning or support activities, using eLearning environment.


The eLearning 1.0 Ecosystem includes the excellent integration of component sets for course planning, creating, managing and storing, learner activities managing and monitoring, knowledge creation and management, integration with other back-office systems existing in the organization. In this ecosystem the learners in the most cases are just knowledge consumers and they are not able to modify its learning paths and learning content.
eLearning 2.0 focuses on collaborative and open learning techniques, where learners are not in the end of the learning chain, they actively participate in the learning process as authors, co-authors and contributors of knowledge, whose products are based on collective intelligence. eLearning 2.0 Ecosystem captures the learning space as space for personal activities and for collaboration and communication with others of learning communities.




These two ecosystems are great opportunities for building the next level eLearning ecosystem, giving better possibilities for acquiring the knowledge expertise by the new generation of learners.
