the Internet.
PRINCIPLES OF E-LEARNING
Digital learning includes online learning
which includes blended learning (and
Blended Learning) and e-Learning. It also

Differences
e-Learning allows the students to interact with their teacher only
E-learning Online learning through the internet. They cannot learn or communicate with their
teacher even if they are in the same premises
e-Learning and distance learning are almost the similar types of learning
E-learning Distance learning facilities as both of them allow the students not to attend the classroom
physically. They can use the internet for learning their course without
moving out of their place.

Blended learning is a combination of traditional classroom learning


E-learning Blended learning and virtual learning whereas e-Learning involves only internet
connection for learning any course

Different Types of e-Learning
E-learning components

e-learning approaches can combine different types of e-learning components,


including:

(a) e-learning content;


• simple learning resources - non-interactive resources such as
documents, PowerPoint presentations, videos or audio files
• interactive e-lessons
• electronic simulations
(b) e-tutoring, e-coaching, e-mentoring;
(c) collaborative learning - Online discussions , collaboration
(d) virtual classroom
Synchronous and asynchronous e-learning

Traditional Classroom E-Learning

Classroom • Physical – limited size • Unlimited


• Synchronous • Anytime, anywhere

Content • PowerPoint/transparency/etc • Multimedia / simulation


• Textbooks/library • Digital library
• Video • On demand
• Collaboration • Syn & Asyn. Communication
Personalisation • One learning path • Learning path and pace

e-learning Benefit

• Time and cost saving – e-learning can overcome the limitations of


times, distances, and resources.

• Convenient.
– Repeatable - as many times as you like.
• Easier to monitor progress.

• In an on-line multimedia learning
environment:
– teaching & learning is ‘one-to-one’ (individual)
– more interactivity (in normal classroom, it varies with the
class size)
– learner-centred
– Learner monitoring & grading system
• Cost-effective
– Virtual learning environment
– Share lessons among schools
– Reduce material cost
– Reduce travel/accommodation costs
• media-rich
– Easier to understand & more engaging
• repeatable
– As many times as you like
• easier to monitor progress
– less administrative work
– can be more precise
