Key terms

Learning environment. The circumstances, objects, and conditions by which the learner is surrounded.

• Social-learning theory. The view that we can learn through both observation and direct experience.
• Self-education (autodidacticism, autodidactism, self-learning, self-directed learning, and self-teaching) is education without the guidance of masters (such as teachers and professors) or educational institutions. A self-learner chooses the subject of study, their learning tools, and educational format.
• Managed learning environment (MLE). A computer-based ecosystem that supports core learning activities such as assessment, authoring, communication, learner progress tracking and, possibly, more advanced options. The scope of those advanced options varies greatly; they may or may not include collaboration, e-portfolio building, hands-on training, on-the-job training, etc.
