What is e-Learning?

E-learning is the use of electronic
technologies to create learning
experiences.

Lets Explore!
There are different types of e-learning.

Virtual Classroom Courses:
Are online classes that
are designed to be very
much like a traditional
classroom.
Classes include reading
assignments,
discussions,
presentations, and
homework.
They offer features for
both cooperative and
independent learning
styles.
Virtual classrooms offer
the benefit of flexibility.
(Dean)

Standalone Courses:
A student takes
classes alone, with
no interaction from
a teacher or
students.
Students work
alone and
independently.
Social Learning
Ways to communicate, collaborate & Interact
Learning that is facilitated by the use
of tools from the world of social media.
(Curran, 2012)
Social media tools include microblogs
(Twitter), screencasts, wikis,
Facebook, and YouTube, are all
examples.
Some may say that social learning is
informal learning, in which you
learning from each other instead of
from a teacher or trainer. (Curran,
2012)
Learning Enhanced by Games &
Simulations
Device Simulation
Jigsaw Puzzles
Quiz-show Games
Software
Simulations
Device Simulations
Math Simulations
Environmental
Simulations
Mobile Learning
Learning from the world while moving
about in the world. Aided by mobile
devices, such as smart phones and
tablet devices, mobile learners
participate in conventional classroom
courses and standalone e-learning
while out and about. (Horton, 2012)
Allows for flexibility, and the ability to
learn wherever you are!
Learning Designs
E-Learning Designs
E-learning design, comes down to the
how we choose to use our technology
tools to teach a subject.

Instructional Designs
Instructional design is the systematic
process by which instructional
materials are designed, developed,
and delivered. (Instructional Design)

Design and practices
Keep your goals and learners in mind!
Your goals/objectives and your learners
will determine the way your information
should be presented.
Provide information that will help the
learner achieve the goals that you set.
Use tools that will facilitate achieving
goals.
Using tools that are user friendly.
Use a great instructional design.
Technology & Practices
Create lessons in which technology tools are
used as an instrument to achieve desired goals
and outcomes.
Technology should not simply be thought for
teaching it sakes, but used to enhance learning.
Objectives for a lesson can be precisely set via a
syllabus or course module. Instructors
specifically mention what students should benefit
from the course, as well as a course of action to
achieve full benefit.
By aligning the goals with objectives that are
practical, viable, possible and reasonable,
learning goals should be successfully achieved
using technology tools that help to enhance and
achieve greater retention of the lesson being
thought.
Absorb Activities:
Absorb activities are activities in which the
learners:
Read
Listen
Watch
Examples:
Field Trips (even if they are to
museums, or labratories)
Readings
Presentation
Do Activities
Do activities are activities that have
learners actively participating,
exploring and discovering.
Examples:
Participating in practicing activities that
allow them to put into practice what they
have learned. (Simulations, either on
computers or using other technology to
enhance the learning of the lesson)
Exploring using experiments
Games

Connect Activities
Connect activities allow
learners to make a connection
to prior learning and to
situations in future coursework
or work related situations.
Examples:
Activities that make students
stop and think
Activities that allow learners to
discover the answers to their
own questions
Learners telling stories that
help their learning subject to life
and personal experiences
Aids that enable learners to
apply what they have learned to
a task (Have them demonstrate
using technology tools available
to them).
