8. Advantages of e-Learning
Teaching and Learning with Technology
• Different learning styles are addressed
• Development of computer and Internet skills
• Builds self-knowledge and self-confidence
• Encourages students to take responsibility

• Updated easily and quickly
• Can lead to increased retention and a
stronger grasp on the subject
• Ability to revisit or replay sections of the
training that might not have been clear
the first time around
• It can be easily managed for large
groups of students

11. Danger of e-Learning
Teaching and Learning with Technology
• Concentrating on the ‘e' and forgetting
the all important ‘learning‘
• Whatever the technology, learning is the
vital element
• Therefore, the learners have to
undertake activities which actively
engage them and they require feedback
on the activities they undertake

Teaching and Learning with Technology
• Unmotivated learners or those with poor study habits
may fall behind
• Lack of familiar structure and routine may take getting
used to
• Students may feel isolated or miss social interaction
