Abstract
In this article, the aim is to provide an overall view of
the most significant characteristics of e-learning. After
providing a definition of e-learning, describing its
differences
with traditional teaching modalities, and analyzing
its most general advantages and disadvantages,
emphasis is placed on the fact that the meaning of
e-learning for education does not lie in its technical
dimension
(e.g. the platform used) but rather in the control
and meaning assigned to a serie of variables such
as: how contents are presented, the role of the teacher
and students, the synchronic and asynchronic
communication
tools used and their application in the teaching
act, the didactic strategies used, the attention paid to
organizational features, the e-activities provided, etc.
That is, all the educational acts that use the web as a
medium and resource, independently of the fact that
other instruments can also be used, such as video, audio
conferencing, multimedia, television, etc.
Keywords
e-learning, critical variables of e-learning,
characteristics
of e-learning, role of teacher and student in e-learning,
e-activities
