e‐ducation: research and practice

Abstract This paper proposes an integrated approach for information technology in an educational context. The paper suggests a framework for the design of computer assisted learning activities — e‐ducation. The framework captures three contemporary interrelated aspects of teaching and learning and is more pedagogical than it is analytical. The three aspects covered in the e‐ducation framework are electronic, engaged and empowered. An implementation of the framework is used to illustrate how e‐ducation can be applied in educational research and practice. The paper concludes that the e‐ducation framework contributes to both educational research and educational practice.
