چکیده

Resum En aquest article es presenta l’evolució que ha sofert recentment l’educació a distància des d’una nova perspectiva, la ciència del web, que estudia com el web ha evolucionat tecnològicament, però també socialment i organitzativament. El web, una solució tecnològica inicialment pensada per a compartir informació, és avui dia present en totes les activitats quotidianes, en qualsevol àmbit –personal, acadèmic o professional–, i ha modificat la forma de relacionar-se, treballar i, evidentment, accedir al coneixement comú i aprendre. Amb l’aparició del web, l’educació a distància ha deixat de ser una segona opció relegada a estudiants sense la possibilitat d’accedir al sistema educatiu universitari i es va convertint en un fet comú en aquest sistema, on l’estudiant pren el control del procés d’aprenentatge al llarg de la vida, acadèmica i professional, sense barreres temporals o espacials. Diferents factors han afavorit aquest canvi: tecnològics, metodològics i organitzatius, però també socials. La ciència del web estudia com tots aquests canvis estan relacionats entre ells i la seva influència en àrees com l’economia, l’oci o l’educació, objecte d’interès d’aquest article. L’e-learning com a evolució de l’educació a distància és (o hauria de ser), doncs, un clar exemple de cas d’estudi de la ciència del web on es donen tots aquests aspectes.
