Resumen
El proceso de aprendizaje no es ajeno a los cambios tecnológicos, así pues el aprendizaje a través de las TIC (llamado en adelante e-learning) es el último paso de la evolución de la educación a distancia. El e-learning proporciona la oportunidad de crear ambientes de aprendizaje centrados en el estudiante, estos escenarios se caracterizan además por ser interactivos, eficientes, fácilmente accesibles y distribuidos. Un escenario de e-learning debe considerar ocho aspectos del mismo: diseño institucional, pedagógico, tecnológico, de la interfaz, evaluación, gerencia, soporte y ética de uso.

The purpose of this paper is to outline some of the thinking behind new e-learning technology, including e-portfolios and personal learning environments. Part of this thinking is centered around the theory of connectivism, which asserts that knowledge - and therefore the learning of knowledge - is distributive, that is, not located in any
given place (and therefore not 'transferred' or 'transacted' per se) but rather consists of the network of connections formed from experience and interactions with a knowing community. And another part of this thinking is centered around the new, and the newly empowered, learner, the member of the net generation, who is thinking and interacting in new ways. These trends combine to form what is sometimes called 'e-learning 2.0' -
an approach to learning that is based on conversation and interaction, on sharing, creation and participation, on learning not as a separate activity, but rather, as embedded in meaningful activities such as games or workflows.
