This paper discusses the characteristics of on-line education from an epistemological and pedagogical perspective and suggests a conceptual framework for on-line learning based on co-operative/collaborative learning strategies. The paper also discusses innovative ways to design on-line courses to enhance creativity and critical thinking processes. The author argues that where learning through facts, drill and practices, rules and procedures was more adaptive in earlier days, now learning through projects and problems, inquiry and design, discovery and invention, creativity and diversity action and reflection is more fitting in the present times. So, there is need for an urgent pedagogical shift to meet the demand of the on-line millennium learner.
