E – Learning The letter `e’ in e-learning stands for the word

`electronic’. So it is stated as “Electronic Learning”eLearning refers to the use of Internet,

Intranets to deliver a broad array of solutions that enhance knowledge and performance.

It is a store house of education, information, communication, training, knowledge and performance management.

The eLearning environment makes use of networking technologies to create, foster and deliver learning content and services, anytime and anywhere.

Any eLearning environment can be CD-Based, Network Based, Intranet Based or Internet Based. It enables the inclusion of text along with audio, video, animation as well as virtual environment in learning.

It provides a rich learning experience that far surpasses the level of learning and training being imparted in any crowded classroom. It provides for a self -paced and hands –on learning.

Traditional & E-learning Approach

Traditional and E-learning approachesTraditional Classroom E-Learning

Classroom • Physical – limited size• Synchronous

• Unlimited• Anytime, anywhere

Content • Notes• Textbooks/library

• Multimedia / simulation• Digital library• On demand• Syn & Asyn. Communication

Integrating Media and Interactivity Various kinds of audio, video,graphics, multimedia and

animation effects can be included within course material that enrich the content and make it more appealing to the learners. Benefit of Integrating media with interactivity provides a very useful edge to eLearning domain as far as the field of imparting education and training is concerned.

Incorporating text Incorporating audio Incorporating video Incorporating animation Incorporating quizzes and tests

Features of E- LearningE-learning is dynamicE-learning is individual i.e. centered across the

learner and personalized to the individual.E-learning operates in real time that is

available for 24* 7daysAnywhere-Anytime LearningIt is network assisted and often learning is

done within the fraction of time.Varying the types of contentBlend of learning methods such as—virtual

classroom, simulation, community and even a classroom.

Synchronous E-LearningSynchronous learning: learning and teaching takes place in

real time (same time) while the trainer and learners are physically separated from each other.

Examples include:listening to a live radio broadcast watching live a television broadcast audio/video conferencing Internet telephony online lectures two-way live satellite broadcast

Asynchronous E-learningAsynchronous learning is the fact that that the trainer prepares the

courseware material before the course takes place. The learner is free to decide when he wants to study the courseware.

In other words Asynchronous e-learning where people are not online at the same time and interaction does not occur without a time delay, allowing people to participate on their schedules.

Examples include:self paced courses taken via Internet or CD-ROMvideotaped classes stored audio/video Web presentations or seminars recorded audio tapes Q & A mentoring reading e-mail messages

ADVANTAGES

•Reduced overall cost

•Increased retention

•Consistent delivery

•On-demand availability/ Flexibility

•Self-pacing

•Interactivity

•Transportation Cost and time saving

•Reducing Environmental Impact

DISADVANTAGES

•Learners need to have access to a computer as well as the Internet.

•Learners also need to have computer skills with programs such as word processing, Internet browsers, and e-mail.

•Students may feel isolated from the instructor

• Bias towards tech-savvy students over non-technical students

• Asynchronous communication hinders fast exchange of question

DISADVANTAGES

• Slow or unreliable Internet connections can be frustrating

• Teachers' lack of knowledge and experience to manage virtual teacher-student interaction

• Lack of direct and immediate feedback from teachers

Improves efficiency both in learning and teaching

Increases motivationDeepens understandingProvides new ways interactingCreates interest in learningHelpful for self-evaluationWide reach and consistentUser convenientFlexible and rich medium for students

Impacts on Teaching Learning Process

Some E-Learning Sites

E- Learning in University of Delhi

• The University of Delhi has set up an Institute of Lifelong Learning (ILLL) with a major responsibility towards teacher training (Train the Trainer), development of learning materials and delivery systems, aggregation, developing courses, interactive content etc .

Institute of Lifelong Learning

• The Institute of Lifelong Learning is a nodal agency for creation and uploading of e-Content for the Undergraduate Students of the University of Delhi. The endeavor is an attempt to provide additional quality e-material for students. To facilitate learning processes of students under FYUP courses from July 2013.

• ILLL has initiated the process to prepare e-material in form of e-lessons, e-labs, e-quizzes and e-lectures for Discipline-I (DC-I) courses in various subjects. This endeavor is the outcome of collective efforts of the academic community

Virtual Learning Environment,DU

• It is a unique and innovative initiative of the University to provide Open Educational Resources (OER) to the teaching and learning community.

• Url address is www.vle.du.ac.in• We can find Lecture notes, Video for all the Discipline

courses and Foundation Courses.• This type of learning is Asynchronous Learning.

CONCLUSION

E-learning is not intended to replace conventional methods and learning in classroom. Its aim is to create an augmented learning environment where technology is used to deliver a combined range of teaching and learning techniques aimed at maximizing the individual’s participation and achieving the goals in the learning and teaching process as a greener world.
