Abstract
SUMMARY Sound pedagogy supported by strong theoretical foundations is of key importance in online learning. Yet because this literature is largely situated in the field of education, it is not always well articulated in human services education. This article provides an overview of major theoretical approaches in the education field and links these with both online learning and human services education, with an emphasis on bridging the gap between theory and practice.
