What I discovered about e-Learning
Blended Learning
eLearning has many benefits :

Learning is self directed and self paced
Geographical barriers are eliminated
Enhances computer and Internet skills

to name a few.
Nevertheless, it is evident through research findings that ‘Blended Learning’ achieves a superior education for learners.

As a teacher and educator I intend to pass on all my e-Learning experiences from this course to my students.
Furthermore , I am a firm advocateof ‘long life learning’ and my e-Learning experiences will play a bigger role in my personal, pedagogical and organisational life.
To ‘teach’ is to model and demonstrateTo ‘learn’ is to practice and reflect(Stephen Downes 2007)
