E Learning

E-learning involves using technology to enable learning anywhere and anytime. It includes online learning, virtual learning, and digital collaboration using web-based and computer-based applications. E-learning has advantages like flexibility, reduced costs, and self-paced learning. However, it also has disadvantages such as lack of structure, feelings of isolation, and difficulty simulating hands-on activities. There are four main types of e-learning: individualized self-paced online learning, individualized self-paced offline learning, group-based synchronous learning, and group-based asynchronous learning.

What is e-learning?
E-Learning

is the use of technology to enable people to learn anytime and anywhere. E-Learning can include training, the delivery of just-in-time information and guidance from experts. E-learning applications and processes include Web-based learning, computerbased learning, virtual education opportunities and digital collaboration.

The term e-learning comprises a lot more than online learning, virtual learning, distributed learning, networked or webbased learning. As the letter e in elearning stands for the word electronic, e-learning would incorporate all educational activities that are carried out by individuals or groups working online or offline, and synchronously or asynchronously via networked or standalone computers and other

Advantages

Class work can be scheduled around personal and professional work 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 pace Flexibility to join discussions in the bulletin board threaded discussion areas at any hour, or visit with classmates and instructors remotely in chat rooms Different learning styles are addressed and facilitation of learning occurs through varied activities Development of computer and Internet skills that are transferable to other facets of learner's lives Successfully completing online or computer-based courses builds selfknowledge and self-confidence and encourages students to take responsibility for their learning

Disadvantages

Unmotivated learners or those with poor study habits may fall behind Lack of familiar structure and routine may take getting used to Students may feel isolated or miss social interaction Instructor may not always be available on demand Slow or unreliable Internet connections can be frustrating Managing learning software can involve a learning curve Some courses such as traditional hands-on courses can be difficult to simulate

Types of e-learning
Individualized self-paced e-learning online
Individualized self-paced e-learning offline

Group-based e-learning synchronously

Group-based e-learning asynchronously

Individualized self-paced e-learning online


Individualized self-paced e-learning

online refers to situations where an individual learner is accessing learning resources such as a database or course content online via an Intranet or the Internet. A typical example of this is a learner studying alone or conducting some research on the Internet or a local network.

Individualized self-paced e-learning offline


Individualized self-paced e-learning offline refers to situations where an individual learner is using learning resources such as a database or a computer-assisted learning package offline (i.e., while not connected to an Intranet or the Internet). An example of this is a learner working alone off a hard drive, a CD or DVD

Group-based e-learning synchronously


Group-based e-learning synchronously refers to situations where groups of
learners are working together in real time via an Intranet or the Internet. It may include text-based conferencing, and one or two-way audio and videoconferencing. Examples of this include learners engaged in a realtime chat or an audio-video conference.

Group-based e-learning asynchronously


Group-based e-learning asynchronously refers to situations where groups of learners are working over an Intranet or the Internet where exchanges among participants occur with a time delay (i.e., not in real time). Typical examples of this kind of activity include on-line discussions via electronic mailing lists and text-based conferencing within learning managements systems.

Why E-Learning is So Effective?

1) E-learning Supports the Organizations Goals


Improved training costs. Decreased material costs. Increased productivity. Standardization.

2) E-learning Supports the Learners Development


Real-time access. Freedom to fail. Improved retention. Personalized learning.

3) E-learning Nurtures a Learning Organization & Community


Ongoing access to resources. Knowledge management. Encourage sharing. Employer of choice.

Truth of e-learning
Internet has started reshaping education. Education will not be the same in the next decade

There is no going back. The traditional classroom has to be transformed
