Abstract: The workshop will reveal to the participants the learner centered relationship between technologies, pedagogy and content in a converging role must be deliberated from a four-dimensional perspective to give rise to its depth and volume in the creation of learning objects. Pivoting from the viewpoint of technology, we are able to peruse the learners in a continuum, from childhood to adolescence and into adulthood. Appropriate technologies can be empowered to facilitate for the design of a learning object based on learner characteristics and learning styles. We have thus far concentrated on the electronics part and management systems. It is time the learning to make an appearance. It is time to address the individual learners in a way e-Learning can manifest its far-reaching capacity and capability.
