This document summarizes a presentation on e-learning in higher education. It discusses the history and evolution of e-learning technologies from multimedia in the 1980s to current technologies like mobile devices, gaming, social media and MOOCs. It also examines learning management systems, pedagogical approaches like connectivism, and implications for institutions including the potential disaggregation of education into separate pathways, resources, support and accreditation.
