Abstract

The innovation process, which took place in recent years, in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) had a strong impact on training activities. Namely the push towards knowledge commercialisation seems to be oriented to a setting which is free from both spatial and temporal constraints. This, in turn, implies a redefinition of the concept of Open Learning that, in its ideal representation, should be the solution to all distance learning problems. The new form of computer based knowledge involves a different approach to didactics, through the learning object practice, and, in particular, a careful reflection on technological equipment intended to: 1) assure accessibility to every user, 2) grant for the fruition of a useful product to all recipients, 3) assure a perfect integration between the knowledge content and the different devices employed. The aim of this contribution is to propose a systemic reflection on some emerging aspects in e-learning contexts, related to the role of usability, and to accessibility and cognitive processing in designing phases.
