E-learning Evolution: From M-learning to Educational Semantic Web and Beyond

An e-learning model with ICT technology (ELM) is proposed in this paper. With this model, some education technologies and e-learning evolution are interpreted, such as network education, mobile education, ubiquitous education, educational semantic web, and etc. In the meantime, the way of how to combine new ICT technologies into education is also demonstrated. After discussing the convenience and challenge of various education technologies, a new model called intelligent education is introduced and some recent research results are presented. At last, the author looks ahead the future of information technology and human related disciplines and their effects on education.
