ON-LINE LEARNIN

GE-learning or On-line learning refers to the use of electronic media and information and communication technologies(ICT) in education.

TYPES OF ON-LINE LEARNING

On-line learning may either be 1.Synchronous

Learning(rqY;dkfyd vf/xe) or

2.Asynchronous Learning (vrqY;dkfyd vf/xe) .

Synchronous learning refers to a learning environment in which everyone takes part at the same time. Lecture is an example of synchronous learning in a face-to-face environment, where learners and teachers are all in the same place at the same time. Before technology allowed for synchronous learning environments, most online education took place through asynchronous learning methods. 

SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

Synchronous learning occurs in real-time, with all participants interacting at the same time.Synchronous learning involves the

exchange of ideas and information with one or more participants during the same period of time.

A face-to-face discussion is an example of synchronous communications.

SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

SYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

In On-line learning environments, examples of synchronous communications include online real-time live teacher instruction and feedback.

Ex. Skype conversations, or chat rooms or virtual classrooms where everyone is online and working collaboratively at the same time.

ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

Asynchronous learning is self-paced and allows participants to engage in the exchange of ideas or information without the dependency of other participants′ involvement at the same time.

Asynchronous learning is a student-centered teaching method that uses online learning resources to facilitate information sharing outside the constraints of time and place among a network of people. Asynchronous learning is based on constructivist theory, a student-centered approach that emphasizes the importance of peer-to-peer interactions.

ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

This approach combines self-study with asynchronous interactions to promote learning, and it can be used to facilitate learning in traditional on-campus education, distance education, and continuing education.

This combined network of learners and the electronic network in which they communicate are referred to as an asynchronous learning network.

ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

Asynchronous learning may use technologies such as email, blogs, wikis, and discussion boards, as well as web-supported textbooks,

hypertext documents, audio video courses, and social networking using web. 

 

ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

Asynchronous learning is particularly beneficial for students who have health problems or have child care responsibilities and regularly leaving the home to attend lectures is difficult. They have the opportunity to complete their work in a low stress environment and within a more flexible timeframe.

ASYNCHRONOUS LEARNING

Through online courses, students can earn their diplomas more quickly, or repeat failed courses without the embarrassment of being in a class with younger students.Both the asynchronous and synchronous methods rely heavily on self-motivation, self-discipline, and the ability to communicate in writing effectively.
