CSCI 5140G - Ecology of Online Learning

The aim of this course is to examine the context in which online learning has evolved to build understanding of not only the present but also to enable students to look ahead at the potential. Problems facing the continuous development of e-learning are also explored. From a survey of the brief history of online learning, with a close look at the symbiotic relationship between technological development, pedagogical evolution, and socio-economic pressures, the students will find, adapt and use theoretical models to analyze current online learning situations.
