TL;DR: The goal in this paper is to provide a clear link between the theoretical principles of constructivism, the practice of instructional design, and thepractice of teaching.
Abstract: It is said that there’s nothing so practical as good theory. It may also be said that there’s nothing so theoretically interesting as good practice 1 . This is particularly true of efforts to relate constructivism as a theory of learning to the practice of instruction. Our goal in this paper is to provide a clear link between the theoretical principles of constructivism, the practice of instructional design, and the practice of teaching. We will begin with a basic characterization of constructivism identifying what we believe to be the central principles in learning and understanding. We will then identify and elaborate on eight instructional principles for the design of a constructivist learning environment. Finally, we will examine what we consider to be one of the best exemplars of a constructivist learning environment -- Problem Based Learning as described by Barrows (1985, 1986, 1992).

TL;DR: In the second wave of e-learning, increasing numbers of learning designers are experimenting with blended learning models that combine various delivery modes, and anecdotal evidence indicates that blended learning not only offers more choices but also is more effective.
Abstract: The term ‘remote learning' became very common during the COVID-19 pandemic as remote work and remote learning became common practices across the globe. Education and training programs have shifted to self-paced eLearning and virtual classrooms. Post COVID-19, even when learning returns to the physical classroom, the trend toward blended learning will continue. In this chapter, the authors explore how eLearning has evolved toward blended learning and how we can use modern technologies like artificial intelligence and learning models such as microlearning and spaced learning to improve blended learning.

TL;DR: An overarching assumption here is that when designing instruction the use of technology is secondary to well-developed learning objectives and instructional plans, and a set of guidelines may help design the learning environment.
Abstract: Introduction Over the past few decades, several technologies have emerged that can be used in education, more specifically in distance learning: audio-, video-, and computer conferences; audiographics; CD-ROM, and other forms of computer-based instruction. When using most of these more sophisticated technologies, it becomes essential that an adequate infrastructure be constructed and high-quality technical support be made available when students and instructors need it. An overarching assumption here is that when designing instruction the use of technology is secondary to well-developed learning objectives and instructional plans. A set of guidelines may help design the learning environment. A few are listed here as examples of designing (especially distance) learning, but not as a comprehensive list:
