E-learning utilizes electronic technologies to provide educational content outside of a traditional classroom. It includes various formats from knowledge databases and online support to synchronous training, asynchronous self-study, and instructor-led methods. Keys to effective e-learning include varying content types, interactive elements like quizzes, and encouraging interaction. Models of distance education have evolved from early print-based correspondence to today's intelligent flexible learning using interactive multimedia, internet access, and automated response systems. Benefits of e-learning include lower costs, flexibility of location and scheduling, ease of updating, and consistent standardized content.

What is E-Learning?What is E-Learning?
Simply put, E-Learning is learning
utilizing electronic technologies
to access educational
curriculum outside of a
traditional classroom.

3. • Knowledge databases – most basic form of e-
learning
– indexed explanations and guidance,
step-by-step instructions
– moderately interactive – type in a key word or
phrase to search the database, or make a
selection from an alphabetical list
• Online support – functions in a similar manner to
knowledge databases
– forums, chat rooms, online bulletin boards, e-
mail, or live instant-messaging support
– Slightly more interactive can ask more specific
questions and answers, can get more immediate
answers
Types of E-LearningTypes of E-Learning

4. • Synchronous training – is real-time training.
– resembles classroom training - all learners
go through the course at the same time.
– Through the Web, an instructor and students
can be logged into the same place at the
same time and interact more or less
simultaneously.
• Examples include video-, satellite-, or
teleconferencing, Microsoft NetMeeting
• Benefit – everyone is together in a classroom-type
environment.
• Drawback – everyone has to be together at the same time,
which may be a problem across time zones, jobs shifts, and
personal schedules.
Levels of E-LearningLevels of E-Learning

5. • Asynchronous training – independent of time
or location
• may be self-study or instructor-led.
– self-study method – using links to reference
materials in place of a live instructor
– effective when teaching do not require a high
degree of interaction between the learner and
the instructor and/or other learners.
– Instructor-led method – regular interaction
with the instructor and possibly other students,
using e-mail, bulletin boards, and etc..
– The distinction is all learners interact with
each other on their own time and
schedule.
• Examples include a typing skills course, an on-line
C++ programming course

6. • Keys to successful e-learning include
– Varying the types of content – images,
sounds, text
– Creating interaction that engages attention -
quizzes
– Providing immediate feedback
– Encouraging interaction
with other e-learners and
e-instructor – chat rooms,
e-mail, instant messaging
