SAMR Model
• One of the most popular models for integration of E-
Resources for Education
• Substitution - replacement of manual practices with ICT
based ones such as usage of projectors instead of traditional
chalkboards.
• Augmentation - substitution but with functional
improvements. This includes usage of word processors with
spell checkers and using search engines.
• Modification - significant re-designing of tasks. An example
would be the usage of Google Classroom as a paperless way
to create, distribute and grade assignments.
• Redefinition - creation of new tasks that would be
inconceivable without the use of ICT. These include
simulations, games, open education resources and online
tutoring systems.

E-Learning
• The letter è’ in e-learning stands for the word
èlectronic’.
• E-learning pioneer BERNARD LUSKIN(2001)
explains
è’ as exciting, energetic, enthusiastic,
emotional, extended and educational.
• E-learning is internet-enabled learning.

communication, training, knowledge and
performance management.

Truth of E-Learning
• Internet has started reshaping education.
• Education will not be the same in the next
decade
• There is no going back. The traditional
classroom has to be transformed

Synchronous Learning
refers to a learning event in which a group of students are
engaging in learning at the same time

Synchronous Learning

• A virtual classroom is a teaching and learning
environment where participants can interact,
communicate, view and discuss presentations,
and engage with learning resources while
working in groups, all in an online setting.

Asynchronous learning
- a student-centered teaching method that
uses online learning resources to facilitate
information sharing outside the constraints of
time and place among a network of people

• Adaptive learning,
Adaptive teaching, is
an educational method which uses
computer algorithms to orchestrate the
interaction with the learner and deliver
customized resources
and learning activities to address the
unique needs of each learner

E-Content - Intro
E-content refers to the content developed
digitally or electronically
Content Curation
Curation means nothing but collecting,
organizing the work of an individual.
Content Authoring
Authoring is a process where the individual
write or compose the material which is
required as per the objectives and
content/curriculum by his or her own.

E-teaching
• E-teaching is the appreciation of live teaching
with streaming lectures, whiteboards,
downloadable slide sets and discussion forum.
• E-teaching is an automation of an existing
teacher centered educational approach.
• The real work is in creating content and
learning management systems (LMS) that
support e-learning.

Authoring Tools
• An e-learning authoring tool is software
packages which can be used to create and
modify web content for the use by other
people. Examples are blogging, wiki online
forums etc.
• Using these tools e-content can be developed
and transferred easily.

Why PPT Is Not Enough For eLearning
• It is difficult to distribute heavy .ppt files among a
big number of learners.
• If you convert a presentation into a video, you
risk losing all the interactivities.
• Presentations are not adapted for smartphones
and iPads.
• Thus, to publish your presentation with
animations, you need to convert it to an LMS
compatible format, for example, SCORM
(Sharable Content Object Ref. Model), AICC, or
Tin Can API.

Authoring Tools
• AdobeCaptivate
– Easily create engaging eLearning content that works across all devices by
adding interactivity to existing PowerPoint slides and videos that you record
yourself or bring in from YouTube.

tutorials/
• Articulate Storyline
– is a good tool to use to allows you to copy all the slide transition effects
including 3-D effects from the PPT.
• iSpring Suite
– is available as an add-in for MS PowerPoint.
