Hi Dinara,

If you mean pedagogies/andragogies/heutagogies in relation to online and distance education, the short answer, broadly speaking, is none. Practitioners so far have been concerned with either re-inventing the wheel or transferring pre-existing offline (Behaviourism-, Cognitivism-, and Constructivism-oriented) methods, approaches, strategies, and techniques to online environments.

Ben Shapiro looked at some of this re-invention/transfer in a talk he gave at UoToronto a couple of years ago and how some "innovations" in elearning, computer assisted learning, and online and distance education are old ideas dressed up in new terms and language: http://kmdi.utoronto.ca/kmdi-talk-dr-ben-shapiro/
