This thesis will introduce learning theories (behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism, and connectivism) and how they relate to e-learning. Learning is a psychological process of creating new knowledges, skills, habits, and competences. We can define e-learning as learning while using information and communication technologies. Behaviourists introduced mechanical and electronic machines in education in the mid-twentieth century, which provided students with feedbacks. During cognitivism teachers encouraged their students to create cognitive schemas. They made efforts to encourage students to create better cognitive connections with the purpose of storing information in long-term memory. Afterwards, constructivism evolved, and it put an emphasis on communication and collaboration amongst students. Students were encouraged to be creators of their own knowledge, their own truth. Learning management systems were created on constructivist principles. Connectivism theory was developed and is closely related to constructivism. Connectivism is based on Web 2.0, which provides users with many features. Education based on Web 2.0 is called e-Learning 2.0, which puts emphasis on Web 2.0 tools with the purpose of learning process improvement.
