The document discusses various learning approaches and theories, including experiential learning by Dewey, Laurillard's descriptions of collaborative learning, problem-based learning, constructivism, and situated learning. It also mentions discovery learning, inquiry-based education, and narrative-based learning. A common concept of learning discussed is that it is an active process of doing rather than just being told. The document considers approaches to online learning proposed by Weller and discusses Salmon's 5-stage theory of e-learning. It asks the reader to consider two of Weller's approaches for use with current learners and to comment on others' responses.
