<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nWhy is it a\u00a0framework<\/em>\u00a0not a\u00a0model<\/em>?<\/h3>\nDictionary.com states a framework as \u201ca frame or structure composed of parts fitted and joined together, or a skeletal structure designed to support or enclose something.\u201d Similarly, Khan\u2019s E-Learning Framework is an eight sided structural frame for e-learning. All of its sides (representing specific e-learning issues) are systemically interconnect to support learning. The e-learning framework ensures that the boundaries (i.e., the eight sides) of e-learning environment are well marked so that desired learning outcomes are achieved through a comprehensive and systemic understanding of interconnected issues from all sides.<\/p>\n
It does not qualify as a\u00a0model<\/em>\u00a0because it does not give specific prescription to develop a learning environment.<\/p>\nAny other e-learning model(s) developed by Khan?<\/h3>\n

The seeds for the e-learning framework began germinating with the question, \u201cWhat does it take to provide flexible learning environments for learners worldwide?\u201d To investigate the question, Khan interviewed, dialogued with e-learning stakeholders and review of documents from all over the world from 1996 to 2001. It is an emergent design!\u00a0Scholars<\/a>\u00a0from several disciplines (instructional design, cognitive sciences, systems sciences, law, and health care) reviewed the framework and provided insightful feedback for improvement. Therefore, the framework is not based a specific theory, rather a systemic combination of multiplicity of theories from different disciplines.
