As many educational institutions move education online, educators have found it difficult to use such environments to their advantage. E-leaning environments offer the potential to take teaching and learning beyond the four walls of the classroom where learning can be based on real-world problems and learners become active participants in constructing their own learning. The paper describes a process used with 65 Hong Kong teachers to develop e-learning projects
that use computer-based learning resources; linked with networked communities of peers and others in online collaborations in and beyond the classroom while accessing information that goes beyond the textbook. It was found that once the process of learning was understood from its many perspectives, and the critical selection of strategies to ensure learning takes place, teachers could reflect on their own pedagogical practice in creating, maintaining and working in such e-learning environments applying to their own practice.
