What’s e-learning? ‘ learning facilitated and supported through the use of information and communications technology…technology-enhanced learning’ (HEFCW 2008) http://www.hefcw.ac.uk/Publications/circulars_5137.htm fundamentally about learning and not about technology “ A powerful addition to a person’s stock of mental tools. Nothing is given up in return”. ( Seymour Papert, Mindstorms , 2 nd ed. 1993)
