Types and Definition of E-Learning

E-learning is a learning system that uses electronic resources and the internet to deliver education to a large number of recipients. It has proven effective for corporate training programs conducted across organizations. E-learning can be delivered synchronously through virtual classrooms and live web broadcasts, or asynchronously through self-paced courses and discussion boards. There are two primary models - synchronous uses real-time virtual classes, while asynchronous is self-directed without fixed schedules.

DEFINITION

• A learning system based on formalised teaching but with the help of electronic
resources is known as E-learning. While teaching can be based in or out of the
classrooms, the use of computers and the Internet forms the major component of E-
learning. E-learning can also be termed as a network enabled transfer of skills and
knowledge, and the delivery of education is made to a large number of recipients at
the same or different times. Earlier, it was not accepted wholeheartedly as it was
assumed that this system lacked the human element required in learning.
DESCRIPTION
• E-learning has proved to be the best means in the corporate sector, especially when
training programs are conducted by MNCs for professionals across the globe and
employees are able to acquire important skills while sitting in a board room, or by
having seminars, which are conducted for employees of the same or the different
organizations under one roof. The schools which use E-learning technologies are a
step ahead of those which still have the traditional approach towards learning.
HOW E-LEARNING WORKS
• Instruction can be delivered by a combination of static methods, such as learning
portals, hyperlinked pages, screen cam tutorials, streaming audio/video and live Web
broadcasts; and interactive methods, such as threaded discussions, chats and desktop
video conferencing.
• In its formative years, e-learning tools primarily enabled the delivery of learning material
directly from teacher to learner. Now, the e-learning experience has evolved to enable more
multi-directional communication using increasingly interactive tools. Students, employees
and independent learners alike have greater freedom in choosing how they receive and
respond to e-learning content, and any number of peers can be involved.
TYPES OF E-LEARNING
• There are two primary models of Web-based instruction: synchronous -- instructor-
facilitated -- and asynchronous -- self-directed and self-paced. Basically,
synchronous e-learning requires all the participants to be present, albeit virtually, at
the same time, whereas asynchronous e-learning does not.
• Examples of synchronous e-learning methods include the use of scheduled and timed online
tests, virtual classrooms, web conferencing technology or interactive shared whiteboards that
learners can use to collaborate. Examples of asynchronous e-learning methods include the
use of a message boards, discussion groups and self-paced online courses.
