The joy of e-learning : redesigning the e-learning experience

Peer-reviewed

This paper focuses on the work that needs to be done to reduce this gap and redefine the e-learning experience. We propose a methodology in which we also take into account the affective dimension of the user, as this can becritical to the overall experience, even more so than aspects such as effectiveness and efficiency, often measured. Integrating the affective dimension will help provide a set ofguidelines for designing a virtual learning environment that engages and motivates students to learn and enjoy their e-learning experience.
