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
