I sociologi si sono occupati di E-learning in maniera finora residuale; nell’ambito della sociologia della comunicazione vi sono saggi sull’impatto delle NT nei processi di scambio tra attori (utenti della rete, ecc.) senza soffermarsi sul tema dell’apprendimento. Nella sociologia dell’organizzazione vi sono studi sulle learning organization che collegano apprendimento e organizzazione (l’apprendimento è un processo organizzativo e viceversa) e enfatizzano il ruolo dell’innovazione. Altri studi nell’ambito della sociologia del territorio ed economica si concentrano su applicazioni e usi dell’E-learning riferiti a particolari e contestualizzati sistemi ed esperienze. Nell’analisi pedagogica e delle tecnologie dell’istruzione sono invece molto sviluppati studi di tipo descrittivo sulle diverse generazioni di E-learning; sulle tipologie di sistemi di E-learning e sulla valutazione delle ricadute sui processi di apprendimento individuale (in termini di risultati ed efficacia per il discente).

Abstract
E-learnig diffusion has introduced relevant consequences on values practices and actors in training and education that can be analyzed from a sociological perspective. The meaning of learning chances its meaning according to different contexts (schools universities professional training courses public administration private companies medical sector etc) which are characterized by the use of new technologies. Thus ways of access and of building knowledge are changing as well. The traditional functions carried out by the socialization process (integration increasing productivity social control) are redefined in an innovative perspective through the challenge of tradition of modern efficiency of old hierarchies imposed by linear and vertical way of knowledge transmission. The volume explores through theoretical essays firstly the process of innovation and reorganization started by the introduction of e-learning system and secondarily the hypothesis that didactic technology – chosen to increase competitiveness of knowledge as a good – can bring to learning people a more active comprehension of the world re-conquering knowledge as a common good.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
