Critical Remarks on Conceptualisations of Online Education

• This paper deals with the question of how to conceptualise education performed online. To answer 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 conceptualising the environment, technology, and communication in education performed online were unfolded. Conceptualisations building on the concept of learning environment were found to be problematic.
