Abstract(s)

This paper aims to discuss the challenge of the transition from on-line delivery to on-line teaching and learning. At the present e-learning constitutes the main digital support to promote an effective distance education. However it is necessary understand “what can I do with e-learning and that I can not do with e-learning”. Due to the fact that the discussions around e-learning are almost focused on technology its pedagogical importance may be considered as a secondary problem. This paper reflects the importance of the use of e-learning in the process of teaching and learning (institution, teachers and students). The main obstacles and difficulties are considered as a catalyst for reflection in order to find ways, strategies and innovative process for the implementation of e-learning. Recommendations and future trends (e.g. m-learning) are also discussed in order to find new ways to promote an ubiquitous education.
