The e-Learning Ecologies MOOC is an online course that explores how learning happens across diverse, interconnected digital environments rather than in a single platform or classroom. It is based on the concept of learning ecologies, which views learning as a dynamic system shaped by technology, pedagogy, culture, relationships, and learner agency.

The MOOC emphasizes active, participatory, and reflective learning, encouraging learners to engage through discussions, collaborative tasks, multimedia creation, and self-directed inquiry. It highlights how digital tools—such as learning management systems, social media, open educational resources, and mobile technologies—can be intentionally combined to support deeper learning.

Key ideas include:

Learning as networked and lifelong

The role of learner choice, voice, and agency

The importance of community, collaboration, and feedback

Designing learning experiences that are inclusive, flexible, and meaningful

The e-Learning Ecologies MOOC is particularly valuable for educators, instructional designers, and education students who want to rethink traditional teaching models and design learning experiences that reflect the realities of digital-age learners.
