d) When conducting and online learning classroom, it is important that learning is occurring at higher levels of thinking, as indicated by Bloom’s taxonomy. 
It becomes important to facilitate a classroom environment in which these higher levels – creating and evaluating – are occuring within the students. Social collaboration, constructivism and connectivism are all ways in which this higher order thinking can occur. This involves students ‘constructing’ their own knowledge, and assuming their own responsibility for their work. By allowing students the opportunity to create blogs, wikis, del.icio.us, facebook and iGoogle accounts for themselves (these are just some examples), students are being forced to operate at this higher level of thinking. It becomes crucial that students are given this opportunity, so as to maximise their learning.
Wikipedia provides useful information on what is known as ‘e-learning’, and how this learning is useful for students, and the mechanisms for students to maximise their learning.
