This document discusses e-learning and its impact on the University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao. It defines e-learning as using technology to enhance learning in higher education. E-learning can take various forms from supplementing classroom courses with online materials to fully online programs. The university uses e-learning through online course components like tutorials, virtual labs, and simulations. While e-learning may help cut costs over time, its benefits are difficult to directly measure. The document argues that continued funding and better analysis of e-learning's various activities could help improve understanding of its costs and benefits.

1. E-learning and its Impact
to University of Saint Louis Tuguegarao
By: BENEDICT D. SY

2. What is E-learning?
E-learning refers to the use of
information and communications
technology (ICT) to enhance
and/or support learning in tertiary
education. But this covers a wide
range of systems, from students
using e-mail and accessing course
work on line while following a
course on campus to programs
offered entirely online

3. E-learning can be divided into several
different types
■ Web-supplemented courses 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 courses 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.
■ In mixed mode courses, the 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.

4. How to encourage academics and students
to make better use of e-learning?
■ The University generally feel that e-learning has a broadly positive
effect on the quality of teaching and learning, although few have been
able to offer detailed evidence.
■ The “learning object” model is perhaps the most prominent
“revolutionary” approach to date. A learning object can be described as
an electronic tool/ resource that can be used, re-used and re-designed
in different contexts, for different purposes and by different
academics/actors

5. E- Learning at University of Saint
Louis Tuguegarao
■ The E-learning in the University is a good example of the
promises of e-learning to enhance the outcomes of learning.
courses include a number of innovative online instructional
components such as: cognitive tutors; virtual laboratories;
group experiments; simulations.
■ E-Learning Strategy, Reaches InternationalCommunity

6. Can online learning help cut costs?
■ Universities still expect e-learning to help reduce costs, although
few can offer direct evidence of this happening. The good news is
that experienced institutions are generally optimistic about a
positive cost impact of e-learning in the medium run.

7. Chalk-and-board has long
ruled the classrooms
• will not be eliminated
• Less emphasis
Interactive Digital Content:
• more emphasis
• on demand learning
• interactive
E-learning: Blended mode

8. How to make further progress in
e-learning
KNOWLEDGE-BASED
ECONOMY

9. ■ Given that e-learning is still a novel activity and that it has
already improved the overall student experience, albeit
primarily outside the classroom, there is a case for continued
government funding.

10. ■ One prerequisite for better understanding the benefits of e-
learning would be to disentangle the different activities
covered by the concept of e-learning and assess them
separately.

– on-demand (anytime, anywhere)
– private learning
– self-paced
– Flexibility: (modular package)

13. Conclusion
■ Given that e-learning is still a novel activity and that it has
already improved the
■ overall student experience, albeit primarily outside the
classroom, there is a case
■ to have a clearer understanding of the costs and benefits of e-
learning.
