What is e-learning? • E-learning (EL) is a wayof learning supported with technical means by remote teacher. • Person to persone-contact and learning process organization are the key words. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
What is b-learning? • B-learning (BL) combines distance learning (DL) with F2F tuition, optimizing study efficiency andexpenditures. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
Whywe speakso much about LLL? 1 • Live Long Learning has been known ever since human being existed,so why we are speaking so much about it? • Individual approach to LLL appears to be not enough. • An institutional approach to LLL isnecessary.

Why we speakso much about LLL? 2 • Because: • Call for new competence appears suddenly and have to be met promptly. • There is only a short time available to learn what is needed. • There are to many peoples seeking an improvement of ability.

2 Models of Learning 1 • New competence (ability) can be interpreted as: • a new profession, or particularknowledge– academic model, • a new skill – corporate model. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
2 Models of Learning 2 • Academic model of learning describe education process aiming at development of fairly large professional knowledge. Mainly distance (DL) and blended learning (BL) • Corporate model of training is tailored to teach of proper activity– a skill in particular. CBL, WBL, but either DL and BL.

2 Models of Learning 3 • Both models of learning can be used at university as dedicated study or course outside of regular study – what means LLL at university level. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
3 x J 1 • Short time of learning requires the highest learning efficiencywhich technically can be described by three slogans: • just enough, • just for me, • just in time. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
3 x J 2 • Just enough means not more then is necessary for reaching the course or study target. • Just for me means dedicated, personalized course or study to meet individual prerequisite and target. Many learners with differences in personal skill and knowledge requires many different courses or contents of study. • Just in time means to prepare in advance a lot of courses of very different kinds and grade to deliver them promptly on demand even for a few learners– some time at fare places. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
To learn just enough, just for meand justin time • Library of extensive kinds of courses has to be build in advance. • Curricula of regular study have to be adapted to forecasted future LLL activity of students. • The university has to be prepared to deliver demanded course at once and for very small group of user (even for one learner only). To arrange it some additional funds have to be available. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
Solution 1 • The university has to be prepared to meet the challenge. • Efficiency and economy of whole educational activity should be improved. • Some parts of content traditionally learned during study, but not absolutely necessary should be deliver afterwards as LLL activity. • Strategy of LLL should be set down. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
Solution 2 • For LLL at the university two variants of strategy are available: • Traditional study and courses delivered F2F– strategy stiff and expensive. • DL and BL, but either CBL, WBL – more flexible strategy and less expensive in long time. E-learning looks to be the perfect tool for LLL! University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
Strategy of LLL 1 • E-learning allows to: • prepare in advance large numbers of Reusable Learning Objects (RLO), • combine easy RLO together into LLL courses or modules on demand, • deliver courses or study at distance and asynchronous mode, • in extreme allows a course delivery to individual learner. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
Strategy of LLL 2 • E-learning is the most frequently used for training of some skills (in service, technology, or products). • F2F training is usually the best way to learn behavior (personal communication etc). • B-learning is the most useful in study. University of Economics Centre of New Educational Technology
What is needed to assuresuccess of e-learning in LLL? • Good will of university’s staff. • LCMS/LMS software. • Library (database) of RLO, courses and modules. • Team of professionals to design and deliver LLL courses. • Team of professionals for teacher’s support.
