What is eLearning web-based blended electronically delivered stand-alone digital interactive
Advantages of eLearning C E A U L M C S cost-effective social collaborative learning easy distribution customizable accessibility usability up-to-date content multimediality learner-centred
Components of eLearning D M D S Development of content Management of content Standardization of content Delivery of content
Components of eLearning Development of content Let's create content That: interactive, digital web based, stand alone, reusable and granular reusable digital web-based Reusable Learning Objects(RLOs) stand-alone interactive granular
Components of eLearning Components of eLearning Management of content Let's make content available • portals • digital library repositories • LMS • VLE e.g. Blackboard or Moodle invaluable aid not only to deliver but also to track learners achievements and facilitate social learning
Components of eLearning Delivery of content Let's communicate content S A • Synchronous:real-time communication, all learners receive content simultaneously; (e.g. Connect, Breeze, Elluminate, Wimba Live Classroom, chats) • Asynchronous:learners are responsible for pacing their own self-instruction and learning; (e.g. emails, blogs, wikis, Web 2.0, Blackboard VLE)
Components of eLearning Standardization of content Let's share and reuse content Standards are crucial as they promote: • Compatibility C U I • Usability • Interoperability SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model);
E-Learning Knowledge convergence 'just-in-time' & 'just-for-you' Attitudes possibilities for human interaction Skills virtual reality simulations
E-Learning problem-based learning case-based online discussions role-play ePortfolios simulations (Second Life) P2P reviews online groups virtual education
E-Learning 'just-in-time' & 'just-for-you' smartphones laptops PDAs (e.g. iPhone, iPad, iPod, Kindle)
Conclusion Ideal Developing of eLearning engaging with people through technology • learner-centred; • accessibility/usability; • teachers as facilitators; • adaptive learning; • social and collaborative learning; • reflective learning; • virtual learning; • mobile learning; • self-assessment; • formative assessment; • sustainable development.
