  1. eLearning Rob Brightman & Lisa James

  2. What is eLearning? • E-learning is a general term that relates to all training that is delivered with the assistance of a computer [or other communications technology]. • Using ICT to change how we learn • E-delivery • How the learning is taught (delivered)

  3. Where does it come from? • The term E-learning evolved from CBT (Computer Based Training). • CBT came about as a result of d-learning (distance learning), a concept that has been around for over 100 years. • The largest and most well known distance education university in the United Kingdom is the Open University founded 1969.

  4. The ‘future’ of eLearning • M-learning is the term given to the delivery of training by means of mobile devices such as Pocket PCs, Mobile Phones and Palmtop computing devices.

  5. eLearning Evaluation Positive • Engage ‘hard to reach’ learners. • Accessible Negative • Hardware/software limitations • Expense

  6. Impact on teaching • Better teaching resources - teachers have a wider range of activities available to them to deliver within the classroom. • E-portfolios - can help to track the progress of all pupils easily. ePortfolios offer a convenient way for information to be processed. The portfolio can contain a range of inputs including text documents, multimedia and even scripts or software.

  7. Impact on learning • Whiteboards have given teachers a better opportunity to teach things within the classroom. The children can get more involved with the lessons. Whiteboards can bring colour into the lesson and engage children. • Distance education - it has been affected by e-learning as people may not try so hard and therefore degree levels may suffer.

  8. Impact on teaching & learning • Overall I think that the children will receive better teaching, as teachers will have better hardware and software resources to aid them. • Teachers will be able to deliver a wider range of activities, but at the same time must be willing to learn about what is available to them and how to use it.
