What is eLearning? • http://www.jisc.ac.uk/elearning http://www.flickr.com/photos/jiscinfonet/sets/
What is e- Learning Is generally defined as any form of learning that utilizes a network for delivery, interaction, or facilitation .
What is eLearning? eLearning can mean different things to different people – in your groups, what is eLearning in your context?.
What is eLearning? • What institutional and non-institutional technologies are you using? • What kinds of teaching and learning activities are you adopting? How is this changing the way you teach and the way your students are learning?
Delivering Education Workforce Planning Excellence Performance Implementation Metrics e-learning Reporting and Assignment Feedback Training Types of Learning Evaluation Technologies Delivery e-Learning is a tool used within each point of the education process and powerfully coordinates the organization.
Online Learning • Expands opportunity of education • Expands quality of learning. • Increases delivery of learning. • Improves efficiency of teaching.
Memory - The Brain Old Days’ Memory: • “Central Nervous System” • We used to use the book, managed by a teacher store the knowledge in our memory, and retrieve them as required. It was an educational system of memorization and spoon –feeding of information. Today’s Memory: • “Digital Nervous System” • The knowledge is downloaded. The teacher is a full-time facilitator to manage information and construct knowledge to deliver skills.
E-Exams • Standard examination Faber-quiz (different types of questions), Web-based and client-server. • Adaptive examination project • Instructor-course evaluation project.
Virtual Labs • Electric circuits (PC-based) • Data acquisition (web-based) • 8085 simulator (PC-based)
ElearningTechnology enhanced learning …is the development and effective use of digital technologies to support learning, teaching and research
e-Learning Technologies and Infrastructure • Video-conferencing technology • Streaming audio and video • High-bandwidth required to broadcast courses over the Web • Computer-based-training (CBT) • Interactive educational software presented by CDs • Allows students to take a self-paced course in any number of subjects • Since no downloading is necessary, bandwidth is not a concern with CBT courses
e-Learning Technologies and Infrastructure • Asynchronous courses • Can be taken any time, are self-paced and will not have the benefit of a live instructor • Courses must minimize student confusion by providing a basic interface and clear, concise content • Students should have the ability to communicate with each other using chat programs and message boards
Asynchronous learning • Characteristic for asynchronous learning is the fact that the trainer prepares the courseware material before the course takes place. The learner is free to decide when he wants to study the courseware • Examples include: • self paced courses taken via Internet or CD-Rom • videotaped classes • stored audio/video Web presentations or seminars • recorded audio tapes • Q & A mentoring • reading e-mail messages
e-Learning Technologies and Infrastructure • Synchronous courses • Occurring in real time • Audio and video with live instructors will require even more resources to ensure that systems function properly when the courses are delivered • Learning Management Systems (LMS) • A database which can be accessed by employees and students, providing course outlines, explanations, pre-requisite information and courses
Synchronouslearning • Within synchronous learning; learning and teaching takes place in real time (same time) while the trainer and learners are physically separated from each other (place shift). • Examples include: • listening to a live radio broadcast • watching live a television broadcast • audio/video conferencing • Internet telephony • online lectures • two-way live satellite broadcast
Connectedness • Evolving use of social networking tools for a range of learning activities • Students are seeking out peers as a first port of call • Use of ‘loose networks’ and ability to ‘dip in and out of’ a variety of peer learning activities.
Mobility ‘Anywhere’ learning is seen as highly desirable
Mobile Learning The mobile learning experience • Underpins a conceptualization of mobile learning in terms of the learners’ experiences and an emphasis on ownership, informality, mobility and context that will always be inaccessible to conventional tethered e-learning
Students’ use of their own technologies Use of technology and space can be highly individual and utilized to meet a range of learning, work, social and personal needs.
Innovation Years Electricity 45 years Telephone 35 years Radio 22 years Television 26 years Cellular 13 years Internet 7 years ICT was the fastest growing technology during the last decades.Internet has reached 25% or the world's population, faster than any other innovation.
Return to the basics of learning • learning is the process by which a person constructs new skills, knowledge and capabilities • training is one of a portfolio of responses an organisation can undertake to promote learning.
Work? Wealth? Economy? Development? Opportunity? Why do people learn? Many answers
Some intellectuals say that most of us make our living from ‘ thin air’Do We? This is exactly what Bill Gates, is doing .
Topics to be covered • Formal learning • Course design • Teaching methods • Digital teacher • Distance learning • Authoring • ELearning management system
Top eLearning systems 2015 • Moodle • Edmodo • Blackboard • Sum Total • Skill soft
Finally, What can we do? • e-learning is a new culture of learning • Resistance to e-learning is not because of the product, but simply because human nature is reluctant to innovate and change. • It is expected that bureaucratic ministries of education and governments will gradually accredit and recognize e-learning or otherwise they become obsolete
Future of e- Learning • Nobody has the exact answer • Graduates will be exposed to new information in one year than their grandparents in a lifetime. • Memorizing facts will have lower value, than utilizing information for decision-making.
