Online Learning Environment

2. OVERVIEW
• Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Policy
• Benefits of BYOD
• Barriers of BYOD
• E- Learning and Mobile Learning

3. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
Bring your own device (BYOD) is an IT policy
where employees are allowed or encouraged to
use their personal mobile devices to access
enterprise data and systems.

4. Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
• Four (4) options:
– Unlimited access for personal devices.
– Access only to non-sensitive systems and data.
– Access, but with IT control over personal devices, apps and
stored data.
– Access, but prevent local storage of data on personal
devices.

5. The Benefits of BYOD
• Increased productivity and
innovation: Employees are more comfortable
with a personal device and become expert
using it — making them more productive.

6. The Benefits of BYOD
• Employee satisfaction: Your people use the
devices they have chosen and invested in —
rather than what was selected by IT. Avoid
carrying multiple devices to workplace.

7. The Benefits of BYOD
• Cost savings: BYOD programs sometimes save
budget by shifting costs to the user, with
employees paying for mobile devices and data
services.

8. Barriers to adopt BYOD
• Cost – Employees unwillingly adopt BYOD as it
incurs personal cost in purchasing and
maintaining their own devices.

9. Barriers to adopt BYOD
• Management – With employees bringing
different types of devices to work, device
management becomes complicated. Different
configurations requires different provisioning
and settings.

10. Barriers to adopt BYOD
• Security – Different types of device have
different security loopholes e.g. rooted
Android device and jailbreak iPhone.

11. E-Learning
• E-learning is an education via Internet,
network, or standalone computer.
• In other words, it’s referring to the usage of
electronic applications and processes to
conduct learning process.
• This applications and processes include web
based learning, computer-based learning,
virtual classrooms and digital collaboration.

12. Benefits of E-learning
1. E-learning can reduce the costs of education.
2. Using E-learning can increase productivity.
3. E-learning is entertaining (most of the time).
4. The flexibility of E-learning courses allows
you to learn when its optimal
5. E-learning is accessible to people of all ages
and experiences.

13. Google Applications tools for effective
E-learning environment.
• Gmail
• Google Docs
• Google Drive
• Google Calendar
• Google+

14. Gmail • To enable asynchronous communication between teachers and
learners on academic queries.
• To send announcements and updates on learning activities.
Google+ • To collectively contribute on information postings and findings.
• To enable social collaboration and promote interactive peer
discussion online.
Google Docs • To provide individual assessment feedback and privately share
with respective students.
• To prepare study and revision notes for students, which are
posted online.
Google Drive • To provide a common online storage for teaching and learning
materials.
• To facilitate group access control and sharing among learners.
Google
Calendar
• To plan important learning milestones.
• To share academic calendar online.
• To set auto-reminder for important academic event or deadline.

15. Mobile Learning

16. The Benefits of Mobile Learning
• Personalised Learning - transforming from
teacher-centred teaching to student-centred
learning. Enable self-paced learning and
personalised learning experience.

17. The Benefits of Mobile Learning
• Easy Maintenance – Most mobile computing
devices need very little maintenance and
installing the software is simple, quick and
easy - there is little need for any technical
support. This is important because it puts the
learner, teacher and school in control of their
technology.

18. The Benefits of Mobile Learning
• No more ICT suites - Students are herded in
large groups to use the computers. Thus
technology becomes compartmentalised and
discrete rather than ubiquitous and generic.

19. The Benefits of Mobile Learning
• Auto-Save - Saving files takes place
automatically ‘behind the scenes’ constantly
in the background, which means learners (and
teachers) know their work is always safe.

20. The Benefits of Mobile Learning
• Contextual Learning - the form factor, battery
life and apps mean that it can be an
‘anywhere anytime’ learning device. This
makes it ideal for projects and learning which
take place out of the classroom, in the schools
grounds, on a day visit or residential stay.
