Transcript of E-Learning
What is E-LearningE-Learning or “Electronic Learning” is
very broadly classified as a learning imparted using some electronic media
This is a type of teaching and learning that one can be obtained by the means of online technology
Includes all forms of electronically supported learning and teaching, and more recently Ed tech
It is the computer and network enabled transfer of skills and knowledge
E-Learning applications and processes computer-based learning, virtual education opportunities and digital collaboration

E-Learning is defined as learning facilitated and supported through the utilization of
information and communication technologies (ICTs). It includes use of ICT based tools (e.g. Internet , computer, telephone, radio, video, and others) and content created with technology (e.g animations to support teaching and learning activities.
History of E-Learning E-Learning began at just about the same
time that a computer was developed that was practical for personal use.
In England (1840) The improvements to the postal service
made the method of distance learning popular in the early part of the last century.
This led to large number of “through the mail” type of education programs. The Computer only made distance learning
easy and better.The basic thing that distinguishes distance
education is the physical separation of the student from the instructor and the classroom
The early use of computers was geared to help the classroom instructor
The early attempts at distance education were hampered by resistance from traditionalist within the education field
This led to the early online degrees being considered inferior to traditionally obtained degrees
The improvements in E-Learning technology and the ability to create virtual classrooms and a virtual learning environment (VLE) has gradually broken down the resistance
Natalie Aranda She writes about learning and technology It is used to environment that is computer
enhanced. Distance learning in virtual classroom is
something that has evolved from E-Learning It is used to describe a learning environment
that takes place away from the actual traditional classroom and campus.
What are the advantages of E-LearningClass work can be scheduled around
personal and professional work, resulting in flexible learning
Reduces travel cost and time to and from school
Learners may have the option to select learning materials that meets their level of knowledge and interest
Learners can study wherever they have access to a computer and internet
Self-paced learning modules allow learners to work at their own place.
Development of computer and internet skills that transferable to other facts of learner’s life.
Successfully completing online or computer-based courses builds self-knowledge and students to take responsibility for their learning
What are Disadvantages of E-Learning
Unmotivated learners or those with poor study habits may fall behind
Students may feel isolated or miss social interaction thus the need to understanding different learning styles and in individual learner needs
Slow or unreliable in internet connections can be frustrating
Why use E-Learning ? o Technology can help the student learn more
effectively and can improve your efficientlyo Students will already be use to accessing
information via mobile phones and the web o This website’s aim is to help support you in
your use of E-Learning and the colleges o E-Learning engages younger students and can
help you meet the needs of your students varied learning styles
Approaches to E-LearningComputer-based learning refers to the use of computers as a key
component of the educational environment A specific program which is designed to teach
Computer- based Training Refers to a self –paced learning activities
accessible via computer or hand device
Computer- supported collaborative learning (CSCL)
Is one of the most promising innovations to improve information and communication technology
Blogs, wikis, and Google docks are commonly used CSCL medium within teaching community
Technology-enhanced learning (TEL) Has the goal to provide socio technical
innovations for E-learning practices, regarding individuals and organizations, independent of time and place
The importance of E-Learning
It is student centered which focuses on student particular needs. It authorizes learners of different backdrop to equally access the superlative resources, learning and referral materials, tutoring, and teaching sessions from knowledgeable instructors
