Abstract

The development of digital technologies and their significance in the educational process is creating new opportunities for learning, leading to an increase in the use of e-learning. Over the past few years, this type of education has established itself as an important and flexible method, playing a key role in enriching the learning process. This report presents a comprehensive analysis of the evolution of methods and tools used in the field of e-learning, aiming to shed light on their significance and potential. In this context, a timeline has been prepared, identifying four key stages in the development of e-learning, including: the provision of online materials, the development of more interactive educational platforms, personalization of learning, and the integration of new technologies and innovations into the educational process. Adapting to technological advances in the field, the report offers a systematization of e-learning tools, highlighting the ways in which they evolve and adapt to meet contemporary educational needs and challenges. The report presents a taxonomy of contemporary e-learning methods based on three main criteria: communication time, approach to learning, and type of educational material. This taxonomy encourages a better understanding and categorization of diverse teaching methods, providing a foundation for the development of personalized educational programs that support individual educational needs.
