Distance education and e-learning involve students learning remotely using electronic communication rather than being physically present. Distance learning can be delivered synchronously in real-time or asynchronously allowing students to learn at their own pace. Popular technologies used include voice recordings, videos, interactive videoconferencing, and computer-based learning delivered over the internet. E-learning provides flexible scheduling, eliminates geographic barriers, and accommodates different learning styles.

E-LEARNING

2.  Distance education or distance learning is the
education of students who are not physically present at
a school or geographically distant.
 A mode of education in which students enrolled in a
course do not attend the institution, but study off-campus
and may submit assignments by mail or email

3.  E-learning is electronic learning, and typically this means
using a computer to deliver part, or all of a course whether
it's in a school, part of your mandatory business training or
a full distance learning course.

4. • Distance learning, sometimes called e-learning, is a
formalized teaching and learning system specifically
designed to be carried out remotely by using electronic
communication.
• Because distance learning is less expensive to support
and is not constrained by geographic considerations, it
offers opportunities in situations where traditional
education has difficulty operating.
• Students with scheduling or distance problems can
benefit, as can employees, because distance education
can be more flexible in terms of time and can be
delivered virtually anywhere.

5. History of distance education and technology
 Correspondence education, the earliest version of distance education, developed in the
mid-nineteenth century in Europe.
Printed materials sent through the mail were the main way of communication, teaching,
and learning.
Visual instruction, including lantern slides and motion pictures was added to the repertory
of many extension units in the period of 1910-1920
After World War II, television was considered as another delivery option in the
correspondence study.
 In 1968, more options for delivery of education in the form of videotape, programmed
instruction, television, telephone, and other multimedia teaching and learning

6. Popular distance learning technologies include:
•Voice-centered technology, such as CD or MP3 recordings.
•Video technology, such as instructional videos, DVDs, and
interactive videoconferencing.
•Computer-centered technology delivered over the Internet.

7. • Synchronous learning
• Asynchronous learning
• Instructor-led group
• Self-study with subject expert
• Web-based: blog-Wikis-forums
• Computer-based (CD-ROM)
• Video/audio streaming

8. Within synchronous learning; learning and teaching takes place in real time
(same time) while the trainer and learners are physically separated from
each other (place shift).
Examples include:
listening to a live radio broadcast
watching live a television broadcast
audio/video conferencing
Internet telephony
online lectures
two-way live satellite broadcast

9. Characteristic for asynchronous learning is the fact that that the
trainer prepares the courseware material before the course takes
place. The learner is free to decide when he wants to study the
courseware
Examples include:
self paced courses taken via Internet or CD-Rom
videotaped classes
stored audio/video Web presentations or seminars
recorded audio tapes
Q & A mentoring
reading e-mail messages

10. Features of E-Learning
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
Accommodates multiple learning styles using a
variety of delivery methods geared to different
learners; more effective for certain learners
Geographical barriers are eliminated, opening
up broader education options

11. 24/7 accessibility makes scheduling easy and allows a
greater number of people to attend classes
On-demand access means learning can happen precisely
when needed
Travel time and associated costs (parking, fuel, vehicle
maintenance) are reduced or eliminated
 Access by learners to teachers and resources, worldwide
 Aiding equal opportunities
 Immediate access to information
Enhances computer and Internet skills
