3. • E-learning involves the use of a
computer or electronic device
(e.g. a mobile phone) in some
way to provide training,
educational or learning
material. (Derek Stockley
2003)
4. • E-learning can involve a greater variety of
equipment than online training or education, for
as the name implies, "online" involves using the
Internet or an Intranet. CD-ROM and DVD can be
used to provide learning materials.
• Distance education provided the base for e-
learning's development. E-learning can be "on
demand". It overcomes timing, attendance and
travel difficulties.
5. • saves time
• allows staff to complete the
course when and where they
like
• allows each individual to tackle the subject at
their own pace,

6. BLENDED LEARNING
Blended learning is a formal education programme
in which a student learns at least in part through
delivery of content and instruction via digital and
online media with some element of student control
over time, place, path, or pace while still attending
a “brick-and-mortar” school structure, face-to-
face classroom.
Methods are combined with computer-mediated
activities.
7. A lack of consensus on a definition of
blended learning
has led to
difficulties in research about its
effectiveness in the classroom.
8. So, blended learning mostly involves
"combining Internet and digital media
with established classroom forms that
require the physical co-presence of
teacher and students.“

11. Face to face driver –the teacher drives the instruction and augments
with digital tools.
Rotation – students cycle through a schedule of independent online
study and face-to-face classroom time.
Flex – Most of the curriculum is delivered via a digital platform and
teachers are available for face-to-face consultation and support.
Labs –curriculum is delivered via a digital platform but in a consistent
physical location. Students usually take traditional classes as well.
Self-Blend – Students choose to augment their traditional learning with
online course work.
Online Driver – All curriculum and teaching is delivered via a digital
platform and face-to-face meetings are scheduled or made available if
necessary
12. It
• facilitates a simultaneous independent and collaborative
learning experience,
• is a major contributor to student satisfaction and success
in such courses.
• improves students` attitudes towards learning.
.
13. By incorporating information technology into class projects,
communication between lecturers and part-time students has
improved, and students were able to better evaluate their
understanding of course material via the use of "computer-based
qualitative and quantitative assessment modules" in a study by
Alexander and McKenzie (1998).
Students with special talents or interests outside of the available
curricula use educational technology to advance their skills or exceed
grade restrictions. Some online institutions connects students with
instructors via web conference technology to form a digital classroom
14. Blended learning has a strong dependence on the technical resources
with which the blended learning experience is delivered—these tools
need to be reliable, easy to use, and up to date in order for the use of
the Internet to have a meaningful impact on the learning experience.
Additionally, IT literacy can serve as a significant barrier for students
attempting to get access to the course materials, making the availability
of high quality technical support paramount.
15. In a study performed across
four different universities, it
was found that only half of
the students watched the
lecture videos on a regular
basis, and nearly 40% of
students watched several
weeks' worth of videos in
one sitting.
It has been observed
that the use of
lecture recording technologies
can result in students falling
behind on the material
16. M-LEARNING
• M-learning or mobile learning is defined as
"learning across multiple contexts, through
social and content interactions, using personal
electronic devices.”
• A form of e-learning distance education, m-
learners can use mobile device educational
technology in many locations at their time
convenience.
17. • M-learning technologies
include handheld computers,
MP3 players,
notebooks,
mobile phones
and tablets.
• M-learning focuses on the mobility of the
learner, interacting with portable
technologies. Using mobile tools for creating
learning aids and materials becomes an
important part of informal learning.
18. It is accessible from virtually anywhere.
Sharing is almost instantaneous among
everyone using the same content, which leads
to the reception of instant feedback and tips.
This highly active process has proven to increase
exam scores from the fiftieth to the seventieth
percentile, and cut the dropout rate in technical
fields by 22 percent.
IT is convenient …
19. • also brings strong portability by replacing
books and notes with small devices, filled with
tailored learning contents.
• facilitates online interaction between
instructor and student, and student to
student.
