in new information ,retaining information ,and dealing with assessments.Study
Skills are discrete techniques that can be learnt usually in a short time and applied
to all or most field of study.In most aspects ,your expectation of e- learning should
be similar to those of traditional classroom.You should expect quality education
delivered by qualified concerned instructors but you should also expect to assume
responsibility for your own learning.
▪ There are many types of learning styles like auditory, visual, Kinesthetic,logical
and many more. So by identifying your Preferred style you are able to access
which learning environment is best of you.Students who benefit most from e-
learning experience are independent learners who are highly motivated and
posses strong time management skills..
15. I conclude from this topic is that the technology matters a lot ..It should be a part of
classroom .It can help students to understand each and every topic very
easily.However, technology needs to be utilized and adapted in a way that will be
beneficial to all the students because technology is not as helpful to some learning
styles such as auditory learning. Education will be changed by the influence of
technology but it is important to remember that what works for one does not works
for all.
