  3. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Contents • Distance Learning • Introduction • Pros and Cons • Collaboration Technologies • Distance Learning Applications • Distance Learning Infrastructure

  4. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Introduction • What is distance learning? • Learning = Grasping knowledge. • Students and instructors are separated in • terms of time and/or space.

  5. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Introduction … • Distance Learning gives students the flexibility to decide on: • What do I want to learn? • When do I want to learn? • At what place do I want to learn? • How would I like to learn? • Where do I want to learn?

  6. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Introduction … Imagine…

  7. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Pros • Distance Learning has the following pros: • Flexibility • Learn anything, anywhere, anytime, any place, anyhow. • Affordability • Relatively lower or no cost at all. • (eg. Through TV or Internet) • Interactivity: shy students can also ask questions

  8. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Pros … • Distance Learning has the following pros: • Better integration for part-time students • Not every student can cope with a school timetable. • Has the potential to equalize access to education • Disabled and remote students. • Allows for the internationalization of learning opportunities. • eg Cisco, Oracle

  9. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Cons • Distance Learning has the following cons: • Physical separation of teachers and students • Suitable for self-guided learners only • Technical difficulties • eg. Needs good typing skills to perform well. • Lag time between student input and feedback • Answers to questions are sometimes late • Easy cheating

  10. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Collaboration Technologies • Distance Learning supporting technologies are as: • Webcams. • Facilitates virtual classrooms and virtual learning. • Blogging • Sharing of thoughts, ideas, questions and answers • Video conferencing

  11. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Collaboration Technologies … • Distance Learning supporting technologies are as: • Video broadcasting • Web conferencing • Whiteboards-Students and teachers write on touch screens • Computers, tablets and mobile devices • Networking technologies

  12. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Collaboration Technologies … Distance Learning supporting technologies are as:

  13. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Application Softwares • Distance Learning supporting Applications: • ePals • Collaboration site offers a way for groups of students around the word to be matched up and paired with other classrooms • Skype • Ways of making voice and video calls online providing communication among devices like PCs and Smart phones.

  14. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Application Softwares … • Distance Learning supporting Applications: • iTunes U • Provides thousands of audio and video courses on demand • Google Plus Hangouts • Software enable teachers and students searching for materials, conferencing as well as different solutions. • YouTube • Many educational videos and materials are available online.

  15. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Architecture • Distance Learning Architecture: • It is based on 3-tier client-server architecture model. • Database, • Server and • Clients (User interfaces)

  16. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Architecture

  17. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Architecture … • Distance Learning Architecture: • T.120 Standard • Describes series of protocols for real time multipoint communications. • Used in Cisco WebEx's Meeting Center, Microsoft NetMeeting and Lotus Sametime.

  18. DISTANCE LEARNING AND COLLABORATION TECHNOLOGIES Architecture … • Distance Learning Architecture: • RealMedia Server • Proprietary multimedia container, by RealNetworks. • Streams contents over the internet. Now uses both CBR and VBR containers • H.323 Standard • Defines protocols to provide audio-visual communication sessions on packet networks
