We live in a society in which digital technologies play an increasingly important role. They have become an essential part of every field of everyday life and education and schooling have not been left out. There, digital technologies became an important tool that has the potential to facilitate teaching and learning but also supports many innovation processes. The main viewpoint the authors maintain does not focus on the technology itself in e-learning but primarily on the aspects of human learning, whether formal or informal. This work is an outcome of a long-term study of questions troubling the current education, theories of teaching, e-learning and empirical research in this field including the authors’ own research as well.
