Order Description
New technologies have brought about some well-documented transformations and challenges to teaching and learning by affecting how information is received, understood, and applied. The thoughtful
and strategic inclusion of these new tools in eLearning environments can turn the once static learning approaches, in which learners are consumers of information, into dynamic, collaborative
interactions. These interactions facilitate knowledge creation using higher levels of critical thinking and building multiple layers of technological skills.

Search the eLearning literature for seminal events that have categorically had an impact on the eLearning ecosystem. Then you will work within your Learning Community
to determine the most pertinent events in the evolution of eLearning.
To prepare:
Search the Walden Library, the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) Journals, or the web to identify three breakthrough events in the evolution of eLearning. The events
that you choose should represent an impact on social change and eLearning. Breakthrough events may be any of the following:
Seminal research findings
Significant changes in pedagogy
Major changes in educational delivery methods
Significant inventions that contributed to modes of instruction
Social and/or political events
Post the following to your Learning Community
Discussion Thread :
post your three selected events, along with a rationale for why you chose each breakthrough. Review the collection of events .Write a 1-paragraph rationale for each of the top three events
explaining why you decided that they were the most pertinent events in the evolution of eLearning.
