Abstract(s)

The widespread diffusion of e-learning in organizations encouraged the discovery of more effective ways for conveying digital information to learners, for instance, via the so-called LMSs (Learning Management Systems). A problem that we identified is that cognitive variables and pedagogical processes are rarely taken into consideration; sometimes these are confused with the mere use of “diversified” hypermedia resources by learners. Within a context of widespread multimedia content, following the emergence of massive information resources, we discuss the need for more powerful and effective learner-centered tools, capable of handling all kinds of design configurations and learning objects.
