An e Learning Theoretical Framework
E learning systems have witnessed a usage and research increase in the past decade. This article presents the e learning concepts ecosystem. It summarizes the various scopes on e learning studies. Here [the authors] propose an e learning theoretical framework. This theory framework is based upon three principal dimensions: users, technology, and services related to e learning. This article presents an in depth literature review on those dimensions. The article first presents the related concepts of computer use in learning across time, revealing the emergence of new trends on e learning. The theoretical framework is a contribution for guiding e learning studies. The article classifies the stakeholder groups and their relationship with e learning systems. The framework shows a typology of e learning systems' services. This theoretical approach integrates learning strategies, technologies and stakeholders.
