ABSTRACT
The adoption of innovative approaches to the design and delivery of education, such as integrated e-learning (IEL), requires a re-engineered vision of the educational process. For educational technologists the challenge becomes to produce competence for the individual student through embedding e-learning in a well designed student-centred educational system. This should consist of a carefully considered mix of classroom learning, distance education, self-study, Web-based learning and learning on the job. These changes exert pressure on educational technologists to develop IEL before empirically based guidelines and standards have been extensively developed and evaluated.
