A theory for eLearning

A theory for eLearning
(Pre-discussion paper)
Mark Nichols, eLearning Consultant, UCOL, Palmerston North, New Zealand

"There has been much written about eLearning practice however little attention has been given to eLearning theory. After arguing that a lack of established theory will hinder further development in eLearning, this paper presents ten hypotheses for eLearning in an attempt to focus attention on the underlying principles that apply to eLearning in all situations."
