This document discusses various online learning resources including online libraries, laboratories, and journals. It provides details on the features, advantages, and functions of these resources. Some key points include: - Online libraries provide speedy access to updated information globally and emphasize access over collections. They can preserve rare materials and provide lifelong learning opportunities. - Online laboratories allow virtual experimentation, reducing costs while increasing flexibility, feedback, and student interest in science. Experiments can be repeated without risk. - Online journals help communicate innovation and ensure research quality through peer review. They provide up-to-date searchable information conveniently with value-added features.

2. Online Learning resources refers to any resources
available on internet in an online educational
environment.
It might be HTML document such as a course, a
chapter, lecture notes, assignments audio or video
lessons..
eg: khan Academy, School tube, NPTEL, Swayam
learning portal etc...

3. Some Learning Resources
Online Library
Online Laboratory
Online Journals

5. Online Library Contd..
 Online library and information centres are providing
numerous types of information resources and services
all conventional libraries.
 The basic functions focus on collection, organisation
and dissemination of information resources.
 The internet has brought forth new dimension to libraries
of modern digital world .
 In a new library, digital networking and communication
infrastructure provide a Global platform over which
people and Organisation device strategies ,interact ,
communicate ,collaborate and search for information.

6. Features of online library or virtual
library
 Provides speedy and wide access to updated information in global manner .
 Greater emphasis is on access and not on collection .
 Time saving
 It provides solid basis for education .
 It enhances quality of life by drawing on digitally available books, materials and
journals .
 Provide ICT based access to digitally available Publications .
 Strengthen collaboration and communication between and among the research
,library .
 Offer lifelong learning opportunities .

7. Advantages
 Immediate access to range of resources not available in
physical collections.
 Physical libraries operate with designed time. virtual
libraries are available anytime and anywhere there is
internet connection.
 Virtual library is often contain more up-to-date
information and physical collections.
 Well designed virtual library collections are organised
to increase productivity and efficiency of the user.
 Preserve valuable documents rare and special
collections of libraries

8. Online Laboratory

9. Online Labs
 Online laboratory provide an important environment for
students .Concept may be achieved through laboratory work
today .
 Asset of Physical Laboratory is challenging due to budget,
Limited technical expertise ,setup and maintenance cost.
 Virtual Laboratory allow users to perform practical work or
experiments on real systems via interactive web based tool
objectives, motivate students for conducting experiments on
their own interest.
 To reduce maintenance cost to learn basic and advanced
concepts of experiments

10. Features of Virtual Laboratory
 Virtual Laboratory consist of web resources, video lectures,
graphics, text, hypertext ,sound ,images and animators .
 It helps students to repeat an experiment many times without
any risk of danger.
 Creating new intellectual model in education better than real .
 Knowledge building and incculate information
 Develop and exploration based on scientific assumptions and
processes .
 Performing experiments which are difficult to be performed in
the traditional lab due to danger .
 Reducing the learning time spent in traditional lab.
 Permanently updated

11. Advantages
 Flexible access: Experimentation can be done at students time.
 Instant feedback: Students can analyse what went wrong immediately and can
do, redo experiments.
 Lower cost of equipments
 Students increases interest in science and understanding of the subject.
 Absent students can make them up at home to effectiveness and better
understanding
 Real looking components gives the user field of real laboratory.
 The students can understand more detail experiments through changing
different variables of parameters to easily solve a large set of complex
problems.

12. Online Journals
Online
Journals

13. Online Journals
 E- journals are also known as online journals, virtual journals
,digital journals .
 E- journals help us to understand the actual status of the
subject.
 Journals are published exclusively in electronic format present
and innovation in a scientific information is communicated
easier to the community .
 An electronical journal is a periodical publication which is
published in electronical format using the internet.
 It is a digital periodical dedicated to publishing articles, essays
and analysis on internet that have been read and

14. Benefits
 Up-to-date information
 Convenient information at your fingertips
 Value-added features
 Search facilities
 Other links, video, graphics ,audio ,dictionary etc.
 Export, email, site ,print ,save ,make notes

15. Functions
 To make the results of original research available to the widest
possible audience.
 To provide a permanent record for research which has been carried
out to enable an individual scientist or Technologist to establish the
fact that he was the first person to make a particular Discovery.
 To ensure a guaranteed standard of quantity in the papers accepted
for Publication this being achieved through reference system .

16. Advantages
 Customisation :only the articles of interest are delivered
 Save physical storage :generally an e journal has no space instructions
that is regional camp publisher greater number of articles and lengthy
articles
 No physical processing
 Let's paperwork availability please
 Provide 25-7 accessibility and remote access to use

17. Advantages Contd…
 Full text searching for navigation : navigation and search on the two of
the most attractive features of online journal can offer
 Speed of access: it takes some minutes or even seconds rather than
hours or days to access
 Speed and cost of production : avoiding the printing and making
process can easy the publication cycle
 Economical: could be distributed more economically than print
journals
 Integration with other works : computers grow a situation is rapidly
developing in which many people do most of the work and personal
computers

18. Disadvantages
 Difficulty in reading computer screens
 Reliance on equipments
 Electronic journal needs availability of electricity ,telephone system
,computers ,internet , Software and Hardware
 Less permanent electronic version of online journalism easy to lose
their reliance and Software and Hardware makes them inpermanent.
