From e-learning to m-learning through b-learning and s-learning

Higher education has undergone a deep change since the Bologna Declaration and with the incorporation of new technologies, learning methods have been benefited by a large number of recent systems based on the combination of various models of education (blended learning). The present paper shows the evolution of e-learning towards other concepts such as b-learning and m-learning, giving examples of real projects inside our University to illustrate this process. Finally, the paper introduces a new learning concept (s-learning), that continues with the philosophy of re-usable educative objects to create encapsulated and re-usable educative services to be easily integrated in LMSs. The general lines of this new e-learning philosophy are described through several examples of advanced services that can be integrated into a LMS.
