1.1 E-learning Context : The partnership between graphic design and Industrial design.
The field of instructional design has always fascinated me. I feel that it has great potential with the immersion of technology; we can continue to change how we embark on the new approach in e-learning.

Stage 4: Knowledge construction
The first 3 stages of Salmon’s model helped built its way up to this stage. For me this is the most important part of learning. The facilitator 's job is to encourage the learners to participate in the activities, share their experiences, generate and exchange ideas and ask questions. This is where learners and facilitators interact and learn from each other and completing their learning
