Interaction between Electronic Learning and Information Ecology

Abstract

In the last two decades, the rapid growth of electronic learning through new technologies has raised the people's level of awareness and literacy. We are witnessing new means and methods of communicating new information to the public on a daily basis. The society, known as information society (because people constantly deal with information, and the information they receive affects their future decisions), can form various groups in different situations. In fact, society is made up of various groups affecting each other. The outcomes of these effects are visible inside or across these groups. If we consider the whole society as an information ecology, each small group is an Infotope and each person is an Infocenose.
