This working paper explores authentic learning in elementary education through the use of e-learning and digital technologies. It discusses how instructional design, constructive alignment, and transactional distance theory can be used to create meaningful, student-centered learning experiences that connect classroom activities with real-world contexts. The paper also considers student readiness for e-learning and the role of constructivist approaches in supporting engagement, collaboration, and deeper understanding.
