Master’s Thesis Presentation Utilising eLearning in GPRS Product Competence Transfer Pekka Määttänen 12.10.2004
Outline of the presentation: • Purpose of the Master’s thesis • Introduction to eLearning • Case eLearning solution creation process • Conclusions
Introduction to Master’s thesis: • Investigate the theoretical background for eLearning solution creation • Investigate the process flow for producing an eLearning solution and how well the theories are applied by using a case project
Why eLearning? • rapid evolution of electronic and web-enabling technologies • globalisation • increased competition • need to cut down costs
Three fundamental eLearning criteria: • eLearning is networked • eLearning is delivered via computer using standard Internet technologies • eLearning provides tools for enhanced learning
eLearning is a solution offering added value for thelearner by utilising multimedia, eLearning pedagogy, communications- and information technology as the means for delivering the learning.
Evolution of eLearning • 1920s Sidney Pressey teaching machine • 1950s B.F Skinner’s teaching machine • 1960s Computer Assisted Teaching (IBM) • 1970s to 1980s Computer Based Training delivery using disks and CD-ROMs • 1990s introduction of learning management systems • spreading of high-bandwidth access • Evolution in multimedia technologies
eLearning benefits: • Not restricted to time or place • Offers cost and timesavings • Provides collaborative learning environment • Consistent messages • Scalability • Supports individual study times
eLearning pedagogics: • Behavioural learning theory • Cognitive learning theory • Constructive learning theory
Blended learning • Combines technology-enabled education with traditional classroom training • Offers additional advantages: • Provides social interaction • Familiar and comfortable method • Interactive learning environment
Blended learning solution components • Instructor led live-event • Self paced learning • Collaboration • Assessment • Performace support material
eLearning solution creation process: • RFQ Phase • Creation of Instructional design • Creation of synopsis • Creation of storyboards • Production works • Implementation • Piloting • Verification and project closure
An example of eLearning course creation process:
Request for Quotation phase • preliminary plan of the eLearning solution • estimation of resources • Creation of instructional design • learner characteristics • course structure • learning style • use of multimedia • assessment and exercises • performance support material • collaborative elements • technical specifications
Creation of course synopsis • Detailed plan of the eLearning solution • Definition of eLearning solution structure • Creation of storyboards • all text of the eLearnign solution • all graphical elements of the course as scetches • Production works • Graphical implementation of the storyboards • Basic graphics and animation technologies
Implementation to the learning management system Piloting Verification and project closure
Conclusions: • eLearning solution creation followed the theory of eLearning solution creation • all pedagogical theories were supported • Future improvements concerning the creation process: • more advanced project resourcing tools
