e-learninge-learning learner-centred and client-focused approach
to delivery methods e-learning includes computer-based learning,
Web-based learning, virtual classrooms and digital collaboration and uses.
technology is both a delivery mechanism and an enabler

Summary of DriversSummary of Drivers
The advent of new technologies; The expectations of users growing up with new
technologies and increasingly using them for productivity;
The quest for efficiencies in the delivery of training; Organisational initiatives to maintain currency with
developments in technology Government Policy initiatives
![Page 10: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The size of the e-learning marketThe size of the e-learning market In Europe in 2002 pure e-learning and blended learning accounted for a
quarter of the time users spent in training. In the US in 2001 43% of businesses involved in the survey were in the
process of implementing e-learning or had already done so. The corporate market in the US estimated as $3.5 billion, and $5 billion
globally pointing to a $50 billion market by 2010. The largest growth is predicted to be in provision of content for e-
learning. the e-learning market in Australia will be worth US$65 million by 2005,
growing at an annual compounded rate of 22%. (Payne, 2002)
![Page 11: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
From a recent report on The Australian Flexible Learning Frameworkthis figure plots a number of different variables over time. For each variable a trend line has been plotted on the chart, with actual figures to the end of 2003. The chart includes five variables relating to VET in Australia:§ NSW students utilizing online materials§ NSW online modules available§ Victoria’s Virtual Campus registered students§ Tasmania WebCT page hits§ Flex e-News (an online newsletter) visitor sessions.The point is not to look at any one variable, but the overall trend
![Page 12: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
This shows that the number of students registered on Victoria’s Virtual Campus has increased from 935 in August 2000 to over 65,000 in February 2004, a seventy-fold increase in the space of three and a half years.

A Phase of Consolidation
There have been many failures The current trend is characterised by caution – yet
growth It is OK to be an e-learning skeptic
“Our attention is moving from the technology and the infrastructure, towards the practice, the pedagogy, the content …We are now concerned with issues of: context, effectiveness, efficiency, standards and quality.” Viviane Reding, Member of the European Commission responsible for Education and Culture

Evidence of ConsolidationEvidence of Consolidation
A recent set of sub-trends such as the development of technical standards for interoperability of e-learning content
The rationalisation of the tool market through the emergence of larger, fewer providers
Development of standards in development processes
![Page 15: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Technical StandardsTechnical Standards
The development of technical standards are key activities underpinning e-learning globally.
To maximise the ROI in learning technology, content & services the systems they use must be interoperable, usable, manageable, and durable
Shareable Content Object Resource Model (SCORM): aims to develop interoperable, sharable content: XML/SOAP-like API
![Page 16: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The Jargon: A Learning ObjectThe Jargon: A Learning Object
A digital entity designed to support a particular learning experience, that can be re-purposed for use in another setting, and which forms or is part of an IMS (Instructional Management Systems) content package
![Page 17: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Maturing software development Maturing software development practicespractices
Multimedia/web development industry is maturing Knowledge of User Centred Design (UCD) standards
and the importance of usability in design, and these improved processes are assisting to create better quality e-learning resources
These principles are not new, but being rediscovered
![Page 18: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Trends in educational theory and Trends in educational theory and practicepractice Cognitivism: Based on the thought process behind the
behaviour Constructivism: problem solving, activity-based
Cognitivism and constructivism focuses on achieving higher-level learning in engendering independent, self reliant learners who can employ a range of strategies to construct knowledge.
ICT is an enabler, sometimes called a meta-cognitive tool
Lifelong learning and multiple careers to engender both individual and organisational growth.

The acceptance of blended learningThe acceptance of blended learning
Blended learning is incorporating the use of ICT into the instructional process to augment rather than replace face-to-face delivery.
Blended learning as the strategic use of learning delivery channels -physical classroom, a virtual classroom, print, email, etc
![Page 22: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Elements of a successful e-learning Elements of a successful e-learning implementationimplementation
An enthusiastic teacher(s) Local support from, and direct access to, an ICT-
experienced teacher/mentor Significant institutional support in the form of relief
time and/or encouragement An implementation appropriate to the local
environment, one that allows the teacher to review the ICT materials and discover their value
Positive initial experiences with the materials
![Page 23: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
E-learning as a component of knowledge E-learning as a component of knowledge managementmanagement
Learning as part of an organisation’s service offering
Knowledge management – capturing, reusing and propagating knowledge
e-learning becoming a component of these functions
learning, information, marketing, and enrolment are also emerging
![Page 24: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The future of e-learningThe future of e-learning Drivers are technical, teaching and development
practices or organisational initiatives Dramatic changes in hardware and software and
the continued mainstreaming of technologies Organisations, including schools, are developing
better IT infrastructure and systems for efficient business and will be seeking to leverage off those efficiencies for the delivery of training
![Page 25: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
TechnicalTechnical
Learning design based on learner engagement via active simulation and micro worlds for personalized construction of knowledge, and collaborative problem-based learning
Distinction between multimedia authoring and delivery disappears
Content presentation will become more interactive Blended designs using paper-based textual information
and interactive web-based content will be popular
![Page 26: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Teaching and Development PracticesTeaching and Development Practices
Constructivism will eventually be recognised as a philosophy about curriculum design rather than learning theory
Uni and Schools will gradually reform their curriculum and learning structures
Problem-based learning using ICT where students access a variety of resources and collaborate to solve problems will find its way into Secondary and Primary Schools
The teacher role as a guide, mentor and facilitator will continue to develop
![Page 27: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Organisational InitiativesOrganisational Initiatives
Part time study will increase Education will be more commoditized and
expensive User pays, so user-centered patterns of
learning are more appropriate Some online courses offered at most training
organisations Students choose offerings from multiple
institutions
![Page 28: World Wide Networking University of Wollongong 2004 - Lecture 7](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052605/577cc0771a28aba7119033ee/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
SummarySummary
e-learning is growing. Students demand it It’s still developing – there will always be change Enthusiast driven but becoming mainstream Standards work is good but problematic Developing quality processes is important Challenges are more organisational than
technical Context is critical - so is the role of the teacher
