A new perspective to the planning of e-learning environment

The purpose of this study is to offer a new perspective to the planning of e-learning environments. There are two main approaches to the planning of e-learning environments. First, the manager-oriented approach stresses on means and management mechanisms as well as content presentation. Second, the learner-oriented approach emphasizes on learning itself and needs and interests of the learner while mechanisms and means of electronic communications are emphasized. This paper argues that a new combined approach is required, in which needs and interest of learner are preferred over management mechanisms and content presentation.
