Advantages of eLearning social collaborative learning customizable multimediality learner-centred up-to-date content accessibility usability easy distribution cost-effective

Components of eLearning Management of content Delivery of content Development of content Standardization of content

Components of eLearning Development of content Let's create content reusable stand-alone granular interactive digital web-based Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs) ‏

Components of eLearning Management of content Let's make content available Components of eLearning
portals
digital library repositories
LMS
VLE
e.g. Blackboard or Moodle invaluable aid not only to deliver but also to track learners achievements and facilitate social learning

Delivery of content Let's communicate content Components of eLearning
Synchronous : real-time communication, all learners receive content simultaneously;
(e.g. Connect, Breeze, Elluminate, Wimba Live Classroom, chats) ‏
Asynchronous : learners are responsible for pacing their own self-instruction and learning;
(e.g. emails, blogs, wikis, Web 2.0, Blackboard VLE) ‏

Standards are crucial as they promote: SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model); MedBiquitou s – development of SCORM-compliant specifications for medical education. Standardization of content Let's share and reuse content Components of eLearning
