Current situation at most schools
What e-resources are we using now?• e-Version of
the textbooks provided by the publishers
• Video sourced online (e.g. YouTube)
• PowerPoint slides prepared by the teachers
• Online platform developed by service providers
How are they used?
• to provide stimulation and arouse students’ interest
• to present new concepts (e.g. grammar & vocabulary items)
• to promote self-learning

e-learning vs e-teaching
Extracted from a blog entry by David Warlick (http://davidwarlick.com/2cents/)
If you ask ‘How does IT facilitate my teaching?’, you still do not understand the genuine essence of IT in education.
‘How does IT help my students become autonomous and proactive learners, and increase their lifelong learning capacity?’, you are enlightened.

Oe-Learning refers to an open and flexible learning mode involving the use of the electronic media, including use of digital resources and communication tools to achieve learning objectives. The essence of e-learning is the use of technology to deliver learning content more effectively and the learning process in e-learning environments is expected to consider three key elements for maximising learning opportunities conducive to 21st century skills development. They include blending formal and informal learning approaches, balancing individualised and collaborative learning to help learners to increase awareness of learning achievement and collecting evidence of improvement.

Substitution (Enhancement)
Computer technology is used to perform the same task as it was done before the use of computers, e.g. students print out a worksheet and finish
the practice activity.Same old practice

computer

Augmentation (Enhancement)
Computer Technology offers an effective tool to perform common tasks, e.g. students complete a writing task with
Microsoft Word and send the file to their teacher.
Technology makes editing easier

Modification (Transformation)
Technology allows for significant task redesign, e.g. students produce a digital story about a
little boy and his pet, with music, pictures and audio recordings inserted to present the ideas.
No computer = No product

Redefinition (Transformation)
Computer technology allows for new tasks that were previously inconceivable, e.g. students create a documentary video on
environmental protection. They collaborate with students from other schools (or cities) to generate ideas for the product. They are expected to contact outside sources (e.g. Green Peace) for information.

The interaction/communication among learners and with teachers is more important than merely communicating with a computer in the English classroom
Does e-learning mean using information technology throughout the English lesson??
What do students prefer, teachers or computers?

Modes of interaction in the English classroom
Teacher-Student interaction
Examples:
Giving instructions
Teacher’s demonstration on the use of language items
Human-Technology interaction
Examples:
Reading e-books
Playing online language games
Producing e-texts
Student-Student interaction
Examples:
Conducting pair-work / group work

The purpose of using information technology is to facilitate language learning, not to replace teachers.
Does e-learning replace the teachers? ?
E.g. Use of Popplet (www.popplet.com) - teacher introduces the task - students organise ideas and collaborate - teacher gives feedback on the ideas
generated and enriches the mindmap
