Check out the links down the side of the page to learning theorists for some great, concise and critical views of around 50 different learning theorists, including references. A great place to start learning about learning.

Each of the wheels shown here contains lists of terms to use and some provide help with identifying grading criteria. While Benamin Bloom's taxonomy is a weakly founded armchair theory that is notably flawed from start to finish, devices like this remain useful in helping designers of learning experiences to reflect on what they are doing and what they hope to achieve.

Abstract

Every learner is on a trajectory, an individual path that involves choices about what to do next in order to learn, choices that are bounded by intrinsic and extrinsic constraints. In some cases the learner controls those choices, sometimes they are made by someone or something else, sometimes control is negotiated, or it emerges from complex interactions of many agents. Control and Constraint in E-Learning: Choosing When to Choose pulls apart that simple dynamic, examines it in detail, and explores its consequences to provide a new, theoretically grounded approach to the design of e-learning systems, to the benefit of teachers, programmers, researchers and instructional designers alike. In addition to shedding new light on traditional e-learning systems, it demonstrates that the social technologies underpinning Web 2.0 are fundamentally different in their dynamics of control and, consequently, when designed and used with care, offer benefits that significantly exceed the promise of their forebears.
