Stephen Downes

Knowledge, Learning, Community

This document (19 page PDF) is divided into three parts: a discussion of related terms like 'online learning', 'digital learning', etc.; a taxonomy of five major delivery types, each defined with values for program design, resources, pedagogy, etc; and a glossary of online learning terms. The first part isn't especially informative. The second part is, to my mind, over-engineered; there are just too many cases that won't fit any of the five provided (there are 2^6 possibilities, not 5). The third part is useful, but a bit dated (for example, today we say 'webcast', not 'vodcast'). Via Sue Beckingham.
