Multi-Points of viewMulti-Points of view

Educational point of view◦ Building an online learning environment is based

on specifications from pedagogic, didactic and psychological researches

IT (computing) point of view◦ Building an online learning environment is also a

computing achievement but not only. ◦ Conceptualization of the environment and the

understanding of the computing aspect cannot be separated.
