2. What is eLearning
 E-Learning can be defined broadly as any
use of Web and Internet technologies to
create learning experiences.
(Horton & Horton, 2000, p.13)
 E-learning refers to the use of electronic
media and information and communication
technologies (ICT) in education. E-learning
is broadly inclusive of all forms
of educational technology in
learning and teaching.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

3. Terminologies
E-learning is inclusive of, and is broadly synonymous with
 Multimedia Learning,
 Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL),
 Computer-based instruction (CBI),
 Computer-based Training (CBT),
 Computer-aided Instruction (CAI),
 Internet-based Training (IBT),
 Web-based Training (WBT),
 Online Education,
 Virtual Education,
 Virtual Learning Environments (VLE)
These alternative names emphasize a particular aspect, component or
delivery method.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

4. Advantages & Disadvantages of eLearning
Key advantages of E-learning are
 Improved open access to education, including access to full degree
programs[
 Better integration for non-full-time students, particularly in
continuing education,
 Improved interactions between students and instructors,
 Provision of tools to enable students to independently solve problems,
 Acquisition of technological skills through practice with tools and
computers.
Key disadvantages of E-learning, that have been found to make learning
less effective than traditional class room settings, are
 Potential distractions that hinder actually learning,
 Ease of cheating,
 Bias towards tech-savvy students over non-technical students,
 Lack of social interaction & feedback between teacher and students,
 Lack of direct and immediate feedback from teachers.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

5. Technology for eLearning
There are many types of technologies used in the
education system. Most e-learning uses combinations
of these techniques, including.
 Audio
 Video
 Computers, Tablets, Mobile devices
 Webcams
 Interactive White boards

7. Learning Management Systems
 A learning management system (LMS) simplifies
the process of administering education and
training.
(Horton & Horton, 2000, p.169)
 A Learning Management System (LMS) is
a software application for the, administration,
documentation, tracking, reporting and delivery of
 e-learning education courses or training programs.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

8. HISTORY
 In the early ’90s some Luther Seminary (St. Paul) faculty
members were struggling to retain students who didn’t have
the funds or, because of family obligations, couldn’t relocate
to attend seminary.
 Tom Walker knew there had to be some kind of tool that
would enable people to communicate with each other
without being in the same place at the same time.
 Learning management systems (LMS) also sometimes known
as Course management systems (CMS) have come a long
way since those early days.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

9. Define Learning Management
System
 A learning management system (LMS) is a software application for the
administration, documentation, tracking, reporting, and delivery of educational
courses, training programs, or learning and development programs. The learning
management system concept emerged directly from e-Learning.
 Learning Management System (or LMS) is a broad term used to describe software
tools designed to manage user learning interventions and provide access to online
learning services for students, teacher, and administrator.
 LMS is used to manage online content and administer distance learning
processes.LMS allows us to create and support an unlimited number of online
learning courses that can be accessed by students from all over the world.

 Multilanguage interface and much
more.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

11. What is an LMS Used For?
 At a very basic level, learning management systems centralize, deploy, and measure
learning activities. A state-of-the-art learning management system supports a variety of
internal and external corporate use cases, including:
 Employee On boarding: Perhaps the most common LMS use case is to support new
employees with their initial on boarding. Bring new comers up-to-speed on your
company’s learning culture by providing them opportunities to consume relevant
materials across multiple devices, contribute their own knowledge, and be recognized
for it.
 Employee Development and Retention: Another common LMS use case is to support
the training and development of current employees. Within the LMS, courses can be
assigned to ensure employees acquire the right job skills, are informed about product
changes, are up-to-date on compliance training, etc.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

12. CONT…..
 Compliance Training: An LMS can also be used to make sure employees receive any mandated
training and manage recurring certification and training programs. This centralized approach
mitigates risk and helps to avoid any potential regulatory compliance issues.
 Sales Enablement: An LMS is also central to enabling sales at scale by preparing salespeople
with the knowledge they need, exactly when they need it. The platform also speeds up on
boarding so that new hires can start selling sooner, and ensures that you retain your top
performers.
 Customer Training: Another common LMS use case is for organizations to provide training to
customers. This is especially common for software and technology companies who need to
effectively onboard users so they can use their product. Ongoing customer training will also
provide more value to customers and prevent customer churn.
 Partner Training: The LMS can be also leveraged to train an organization’s partners and
channels (e.g., resellers). This is a great way to enhance your partnership programs and provide
more value to partners.
 Member Training: An LMS is also commonly used to amplify membership value by creating
centralized content and facilitating engagement among your members with digital learning.

 Reusability.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

22. Standards for eLearning
 IMS Global
 non-profit standards organization
 concerned with establishing interoperability for learning systems and
learning content
 mission is to "support the adoption and use of learning technology
worldwide".
 eLML
 The eLesson Markup Language (eLML)
 Is an open source XML framework for creating eLessons using XML
 The didactical fundament of eLML is the pedagogical model called ECLASS
 SCORM
 Sharable Content Object Reference Model
 A collection of standards and specifications for web-based e-learning
 Defines communications between client side content and a host system
called the run-time environment
 Also defines how content may be packaged into a transferrable ZIP file.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

23. SCORM
Sharable Content Object
Reference Model
A software model that defines the interrelationship
of course components, data models, and protocols
such that content “objects” are sharable across
systems that conform with the same model.
Integrates industry specifications from
many other organizations
 AICC, IMS, IEEE, ARIADNE, etc.
Dr. S. Srinivasaragavan ,Professor & Head, DLIS, BDU

24. Goal of SCORM
 Accessability
 Content can be identified and located when it is needed
and as it is needed
 Interoperability
 Content will function in multiple applications,
environment and software/hardware configurations
regardless of the tools and platform used to create.
 Reusability
 Content is independent of learning context and can be
used for many different learners.
 Durability
 Content does not require modification to operate as
software systems are changed or upgraded.

enables collaboration among researchers across all
disciplines.
Browse or search information on people,
departments, courses, grants, and publications.
VIVO is an open source semantic web
application originally developed and implemented at
Cornell. When installed and populated with
researcher interests, activities, and
accomplishments, it enables the discovery of
research and scholarship across disciplines at that
institution and beyond.

92. ORCID
ORCID
 ORCID (Open Researcher and Contributor ID)
is a nonproprietary alphanumeric code to uniquely
identify scientific and other academic authors.
 This addresses the problem that a particular
author's contributions to the scientific literature or
publications in the humanities can be hard to
recognize as most personal names are not unique,
they can change have cultural differences in name
order, contain inconsistent use of first-name
abbreviations and employ different writing
systems.
 It provides a persistent identity for humans, similar
to that created for content-related entities on digital
networks by digital object identifiers (DOIs)

108. Conclusion
Conclusion
• The influence of information technology the
research scholars are over loaded with information
and this lead in to the problems of identifying,
collecting and storing of scholarly communications
for their research.
• Hence research scholars are needed the Reference
Management software to solve their problems and
to handle the downloaded articles from internet,
online databases, online e-journals & e-books etc.
• Reference management software helps to complete
the research in organized way and even it helps the
other researchers to know the related literature for
their future research.
