E-learning has several benefits for educational institutions. It increases access to students by breaking down geographical boundaries, allowing students to access content and faculty they wouldn't otherwise. E-learning also has the potential to significantly impact how higher education is designed and delivered. It provides universities an opportunity to stay competitive with new online education providers. For students, e-learning can provide a superior alternative to lectures by allowing flexible, self-paced learning. It also helps students become independent, lifelong learners.

1. E-Learning and its Impacts to
Educational Institutions

2. - involves the use of a computer
or electronic device (e.g. a
mobile phone) in some way to
provide training, educational or
learning material
- learning utilizing electronic technologies to access
educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom
- it refers to a course, program or degree delivered completely online

3. •Learning is self-paced and gives students a
chance to speed up or slow down as
necessary
•Learning is self-directed, allowing students
to choose content and tools appropriate to
their differing interests, needs, and skill levels

4. •Accommodates multiple learning
styles using a variety of delivery
methods geared to different learners;
more effective for certain learners
•Designed around the learner

5. •Geographical barriers are
eliminated, opening up broader
education options
•24/7 accessibility makes
scheduling easy and allows a
greater number of people to attend
classes

6. •On-demand access means learning can
happen precisely when needed
•Travel time and associated costs
(parking, fuel, vehicle maintenance) are
reduced or eliminated
•Overall student costs are frequently
less (tuition, residence, food, child care)

7. •Potentially lower costs for
companies needing training, and for
the providers
•Fosters greater student interaction
and collaboration
•Fosters greater student/instructor
contact

8. •Enhances computer and Internet
skills
•Draws upon hundreds of years of
established pedagogical
principles
•Has the attention of every major
university in the world, most with
their own online degrees,
certificates, and individual courses

9. It is cost effective and saves time
By reducing the time taken away from the
office, removing travel costs and doing
away with printed materials, online
learning helps to save money and
increase workplace productivity.

10. Learning 24/7, anywhere
Learners are allowed to complete the course when and where
they like, you can make sure disruptions to your busy working
schedule are minimized.

11. It makes tracking of course
progress a breeze
With a well implemented
Learning Management System
(LMS), it makes it easy to track
and prove progress for your staff
and learners.

12. It is discreet
E-learning allows each individual to
tackle the subject at their own pace, with
interactive tasks being set in place to
ensure a thorough understanding
throughout each module.

13. 1. Scalable – E-learning enables us to quickly create and communicate
new policies, training, ideas, and concepts. Be it for entertainment or
formal education, e-learning is nimble!
2. Capacity and Consistency – Using e-learning allows educators to
achieve a great degree of coverage for their target audience, and it
ensures that the message is communicated in a consistent fashion. This
results in all learners receiving the same training.

14. 3. High Learning Retention – Blended learning approaches result in a
higher knowledge retention rate. It also helps that coursework can be
refreshed and updated whenever needed.
4. Time and Money Savings – This one is pretty well known, and a staple
of any well-done e-learning program. E-learning reduces time away from
the workplace, eliminates the need for travel, and removes the need for
classroom-based training.

15. 5. Activity and ROI Measurements – If you are using a learning
management system to deliver your e-learning, then tracking learner
progress is a piece-of-cake, and reporting on this activity is just as simple.
6. Reduction of the Carbon Footprint – By leveraging e-learning for
online testing and quizzing, the need for printing out paper-based
assessments is reduced, in fact it’s practically eliminated altogether!

16. 7. Flexible – Using e-learning, you can give employees and students the
freedom to learn at their own convenience, and at a pace that is right for
them.
-Staff can be trained in remote locations and in a consistent fashion as
anyone receiving on-site training.

17. Any learning tool that is in real-time,
such as instant messaging that allows
students and teachers to ask and
answer questions immediately, is
synchronous.
main benefit: it enables students to
avoid feelings of isolation since they
are in communication with others
throughout the learning process

18. Asynchronous learning on the other
hand can be carried out even when the
student or teacher is offline.
Coursework and communications
delivered via web, email and
messages posted on community
forums are perfect examples of
asynchronous e-learning.
Benefit: Students are able
to follow the curriculum at
their own pace without
having to worry about
scheduling conflicts.

19. Web-supplemented - focus
on classroom-based
teaching but include
elements such as putting a
course outline and lecture
notes on line, use of e-mail
and links to online
resources
Web-dependent - require students to use
the Internet for key elements of the
program such as online discussions,
assessment, or online project/
collaborative work, but without significant
reduction in classroom time

20. mixed mode - e-learning element
begins to replace classroom time.
Online discussions, assessment, or
project/collaborative work replace some
face-to-face teaching and learning. But
significant campus attendance remains
part of the mix
fully online - students can
follow courses offered by
a university in one city from
another town, country or
time zone

21. Benefits for Institutions
For institutions, e-learning increases access to students, breaking down
geographical boundaries - students now have access to colleges they may
not have been able to attend. They also have access to content and
accomplished faculty. The uptake of MOOC’s is an example of this trend,
particularly for continuing education.

22. E - learning is a large and growing market with great potential in higher
education. (Means et al, 2009). In his empirical study from 1996 and
2008 concluded that students using e - learning performed better than
students who did not use e - learning. The students who performed best
were those who received blended learning.
In order to maximize this potential, e -
learning implementations should
endeavor to satisfy the needs and
concerns of all stakeholder groups as
much as possible.

23. E-Learning could have potentially major effects on the way higher
education is designed, implemented and delivered. Until now,
universities have been static in their structure and delivery of higher
education courses.
However, demand for learning has never
been so high, and this in conjunction with
the need to geographically broaden learning
may prompt universities to introduce e-
Learning initiatives.

24. The same demands for learning and the increased revenue of
independent educational providers, has produced a real threat to the
very existence of the traditional university. E-Learning may provide
universities with a means of exceeding the newly formed competition, by
taking full advantage of their traditional, already established reputations.

25. For students, eLearning can
provide an educationally-
superior alternative to
traditional lectures, in which
learning can take place
outside the lecture hall.
E-Learning can also provide a model for students on how to become self
directed independent learners, which may assist them to become ‘life long
learners’.

26. For lecturers, networked learning may cause changes in work patterns and
even change their professional role, but in addition, eLearning provides
them with the opportunity to test students in real business situations and
new methods to evaluate each student’s learning.
The role of the lecturer is predominant in
the successful delivery of networked
learning initiatives, as lecturers have the
influence to eliminate students technical
frustrations, make students feel
empowered and encourage students to
interact with one another.
