Rethinking the conceptualisation of online education

• This paper deals with the question of how to conceptualise online education. To answere this question data from an online course were interpreted through a theoretical frame consisting of interactional and transactional approaches to human action. Consequences for understanding and conceptualise the environment, technology, and communication in online education were unfolded. Conceptualisations building on the concept of learning environment were found to be problematic.
