E learning, a birds-eye view...

I have been reading about what e learning looks like and it seems absolutely fantastic!
It gathered my interest immediately but I personally find 'reading' what e learning 'looks' like somewhat contradictory to me because I always relate the word 'look' to a picture, diagram or image... So having said this I have created a partial pictogram to show what e learning looks like to me...

I find it helpful sometimes to close my eyes and imagine that I am flying over the top, looking down over an experience or situation, removing myself, visualising, perpectivising (I made that word up hope you like it) to breathe it all in.

In this particular instance flying over an e learning environment where I can visualise information and communication traveling to and from the classroom via the various digital technologies that are available. It's a 'humming' environment where words, pictures, data, voices, sounds, images and knowledge streams to and from the world. A global link, a global channel and a global understanding makes me think 'connectivism'...   

In addition to this I located a diagram on an education website that has assisted me in seeing more of how the applications of e learning are linked to different learning skills...



I think that when we finally get to 'see' the picture the transfer of information to knowledge and knowledge to understanding/comprehension truly takes place within our minds - it 'awakens' and becomes 'alive' to us.
