E-learning

E-learning refers to the use of electronic media and information and

communication technologies (ICT) in education. E-learning is broadly inclusive of all

forms of educational technology in learning and teaching.(Wikimedia Foundation, 2013).

According to this definition it can say that e-learning is the use that people make of all

technological resources for education is easier and to this way the teaching-learning

process of students will be better.

E-Learning constitutes an "electronically - based" tutorial. More simply, learning

online or through CD/DVD type coursework rather than in a traditional classroom.

(Answers, 2013). According to this concept E-learning is easily accessible to all the

technological tools that can be used for student learning, and this can be outside the

classroom.

Web 1.0

Web 1.0 refers to the first stage in the World Wide Web, which was entirely made

up of Web pages connected by hyperlinks. Although the exact definition of Web 1.0 is a

source of debate, it is generally believed to refer to the Web when it was a set of static

websites that were not yet providing interactive content. In Web 1.0, applications were

also generallyproprietary.(Janssen, 2010). According to this definition, Web 1.0 was the

first way to use technology as a resource for education, but with this kind of web it can say

that its an older version because only could access the information and the people

couldnt share their point of view.

Web 1.0 was an early stage of the conceptual evolution of the World Wide Web,

centered on a top-down approach to the use of the web and its user interface. Socially,

[clarification needed] users could only view webpages but not contribute to the content of

the webpages. (Foundation.Inc, 2010). According to this concept with the web 1.0 was

impossible to the users share their opinion about what they read, to this web the users

only could see the information, it can say that this is a disadvantage of Web 1.0.

Web 2.0

Web 2.0 (or Web 2) is the popular term for advanced Internet technology and

applications including blogs, wikis, RSS and social bookmarking. The two major

components of Web 2.0 are the technological advances enabled by Ajax and other new

applications such as RSS and Eclipse and the user empowerment that they support.(Ivy,

2008). According to these authors web 2.0 is the new way that allows to the users have an

access in different websites, platforms, blogs and other kind of resources. To web 2.0 the

users can search information in easy way and at same time they share their opinion about

the information and that is where the interaction is created.

Education 2.0

Education 2.0 includes more interaction between the teacher and student; student

to student; and student to content/expert. Some school administrators and educators

seem to have taken some steps and moved into a more connected, creative Education 2.0

through using cooperative learning, global learning projects, Skype in the classroom, and

shared wikis, blogs and other social networking in the classroom. But in 2013, this should

be the norm not the exception.(Jackie, 2012). According to this definition Education 2.0 is

a new tools where the teacher can make an interaction with their students, this interaction

not only can be in the classroom they also can do through the different technological tools.

To this way the teacher can teach with some tools as said in the definition they can do it

with blogs, platform and different website, also they can interact with their students

through social networks.

Blended learning

Blended learningis a formal education program in which a student learns at least

in part through online delivery of content and instruction with some element of student

control over time, place, path or pace. While still attending a brick-and-mortar school

structure, face-to-face classroom methods are combined with computer-mediated

activities. (Inc. Wikimedia Foundation, 2010). According to this definition Blended

learningrefers to the traditional way of teaching but combining different methods, i.e.

mainly using the class room but also combined with different technological tools or

devices.

In conclusion all these elements are related in a way very similar, because all these terms

refer to Education using different technological tools, so that the teaching-learning process

of students or the people in general improve.
