Seymour Papert is a man who has contributed so much in the ways of online learning and teaching. He studied under Jean Piaget and is a research associate and director of the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at MIT. He is one of the main creators of Logo which is an online learning agent. Papert also co-founded the Logo Foundation which sets out to increase knowledge and learning in children.
Papert wrote two books, "Mindstorms:Children Computers and Powerful Ideas" and "The Children's Machine: Rethinking School in the Age of the Computer" which are all about children using technology to aid learning. Besides these two books, Papert has also written many articles and journals in his many different fields. The most helpful website that I found was: http://www.papert.org/
