4. E-Learning (1) "E-Learning" is the expression used for teaching and learning in a virtual classroom. The teachers and tutors involved deal with a subject matter on their own or with a group that is facilitated by an online course or computer-learning programme. InWEnt uses e-learning as a means for advanced training of executives from different countries and continents, to introduce information and communication technologies and extend the use of these technologies. "Regional Capacity Building" in the field of e-learning is expected to support partners locally developing and providing their own courses - according to the regional needs.

5. E-Learning (2) • With InWEnt’s Capacity Building for E-Learning they provide six modules in English (and Spanish): • Instructional Design, • Tutoring and Supporting of eLearning Communities, • eLearning Content Development, • eLearning Management, • eLearning Technology, • Interactivity and the self-learning course • eLearning Strategy. • All courses are offered as a package within an eight-month Blended Learning Course. Blended learning means that the course includes a phase of attendance and an online phase. An introduction course on InWEnt Blended-learning approach - Klaus Röder / Consultant

6. Benefits of E-Learning (1) Like no other training form, e-learning promises to provide a single experience that accommodates the three distinct learning styles of auditory learners, visual learners, and kinesthetic learners. Other unique opportunities created by the advent and development of e-learning are more efficient training of a globally dispersed audience; and reduced publishing and distribution costs as Web-based training becomes a standard. E-learning also offers individualized instruction, which print media cannot provide, and instructor-led courses allow clumsily and at great cost. In conjunction with assessing needs, e-learning can target specific needs. And by using learning style tests, e-learning can locate and target individual learning preferences.

7. Benefits of E-Learning (2) Additionally, asynchronous e-learning is self-paced. Advanced learners are allowed to speed through or bypass instruction that is redundant while novices slow their own progress through content, eliminating frustration with themselves, their fellow learners, and the course. In these ways, e-learning is including of a maximum number of participants with a maximum range of learning styles, preferences, and needs.

9. Scenarios and approaches: Courses Most discussion of eLearning centres on courses. Organizations typically take existing educational materials, add various media, sequence the material and consider it “transferred” to the online environment. Some designers are beginning to employ simulations, story telling, and the unique traits of online media in an effort to transform the material for representation in a digital environment. The predominance of “courses as eLearning” view stems from their similarities to the classroom environment. Both learners and instructors are able to relate to the general structure and flow on a course.

10. Scenarios and approaches: Informal & Blended Learning Informal learning is perhaps the most dynamic and versatile aspect of learning. Unfortunately, it is also the least recognized. Informal learning is a by-product of “information foraging” –Our need for information (and how we intend to use it) drives our search. Search engines (like Google) coupled with information storage tools and personal knowledge management tools like wikis and blogs present a powerful toolset in the knowledge workers portfolio. Blended learning provides the best opportunities for learning transition from classroom to eLearning. Blended learning involves classroom (or face-to-face) and online learning. This method is very effective for adding efficiency to classroom instruction and permitting increased discussion or information review outside of classrooms. Blended learning utilizes the best of classrooms with the best of online learning.

11. Scenarios and approaches: Communities & Knowledge Management Learning is social. Most problems within our environments today are complex and dynamic. Problem solving requires different perspectives to create an accurate understanding of potential solutions and environment of implementation. Online communities allow people to stay current in their field through dialogue with other members of the same organization, or the larger global field. Knowledge management (KM) involves the process of identifying, indexing, and making available knowledge generated within the daily activities of an organization. Some organizations have found value in managing content, mining emails, and creating communities of practice. The duplication of KM and eLearning concepts highlights the strong connections between these fields.

12. Scenarios and approaches: Learning Networks & Work-based Learning Communities typically form around a particular goal, concept or theme. A learning network is the loose, personal coupling of communities, resources, and people. It is the cornerstone of personal knowledge management. The utilization of personal learning networks allows knowledge workers to remain current in their field. Work-flow learning attempts to inject learning content into the actual point of need. As an alternative to courses, this style of content presentation requires heavy emphasis on context, and the user control in initiating the learning needed. This style of learning can be seen in many computer applications (context-sensitive help). For organizations, work-based learning requires a significant investment in resource creation and usability planning (in what situation will a learner want to know this? How should it be presented? What will they search for so they can find it?). Work-based learning is generally and organizations-wide initiative.

13. Scenarios and approaches: Learning Management Systemts (LMS) A learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the administration, documentation, tracking, and reporting of training programs, classroom and online events, e-learning programs, and training content and should be able to do the following: • centralize and automate administration • use self-service and self-guided services • assemble and deliver learning content rapidly • consolidate training initiatives on a scalable web-based platform • support portability and standards • personalize content and enable knowledge reuse. A learning content management system (LCMS) is a related technology to the learning management system, in that it is focused on the development, management and publishing of the content that will typically be delivered via an LMS.
