interactive communication technologies or
ICT’s.
 According to Remtulla (2007) it is a ‘Grand

13.  According to Tsai (2009) there are a number of
benefits for e-learners, which include…
 Flexible time and space.
 Allows for indirect social interaction.
 Abundance of learning resources
 Dynamic learning interfaces.

14.  Hughes (2007) believes that future e-learning
environments must include…
 Freedom to challenge ideas.
 Must not become static, insular or exclusive.
 Build a sense of community.
 Interactions provide greater opportunity to
engage the learner.

16.  ‘Disruptive’ technologies need ‘Disruptive’
Pedagogies (Remtulla, 2006).
 Teaching strategies must exploit underused
aspects of E-Learning technologies (Remtulla,
2006).

17.  Combines many pedagogical styles (Breen,
2007).
 There are many positive benefits to using a
blended learning approach (Clarke, 2007).
 Couples face-to-face learning with e-learning
(Breen, 2007)

20.  Connectivism-the learning process is cyclical,
in that learners will connect to a network to
share and find new information, will modify
their beliefs on the basis of new learning, and
will then connect to a network to share these
realizations and find new information once
more (Hill & Kop, 2008, p. 2).

22.  E-learner’s must be passionate and considerate
in the use of technologies for e-learning
(Conrad, 2008).
 New technologies and pedagogical approaches
are necessary (Christen, 2009).
