Does eLearning pay off?eLearning 划得來？

• Despite some of the horror stories about the failures of e-learning implementations, e-learning has helped organizations with their bottom line (elearning 確實協助組織達成其基本要求 ).

• Many organizations have reported improved time to competency and faster time to market, and a reduction in learning times has meant savings on salaries and opportunity costs, and increased customer and staff satisfaction has led to higher customer and staff retention rates.

What is the right e-learning to develop and deliver?

• The key to a successful e-learning solution is creating or supporting learning or performance in the most appropriate way成功 elearning 解決方案的關鍵是：以最適當的方式來建置或支援學習– the most appropriate way? – HOW?

112/04/20 4

HOW?

• Step 1 ( 選擇 eLearning 類型 )– Decide the approach you are going to take to solving

your business or learning performance or challenge?

• Step 2 ( 如何進行 )– Decide the actual learning solution you are going to

provide

• Step 3 ( 選擇工具 )– Decide which tool you are going to use to develop the

solution

112/04/20 5

Step 1

Decide the approach you are going to take to solving your business or learning performance or challenge?選擇 eLearning 類型

112/04/20 6

Factors to consider考量因素

• It depends on your role … whether you are:– in a college or university – an external provider of training courses– involved with workplace learning

• Then you can determine …– Formal or informal– training or performance support– or a blend of solutions

112/04/20 7

If you are in a college or university …

• You are probably going to be focusing on formal learning/instructional solutions, although you may wish to include/blend some informal learning solutions and approaches.

112/04/20 8

If you are an external provider of training courses

• You will probably want to focus on formal learning/instructional solutions although once again you may want to include/blend some informal learning solutions and approaches

112/04/20 9

If you are involved with workplace learning

• You will need to consider whether an embedded, performance support solution is more appropriate

112/04/20 10

Step 2

Decide the actual learning solution you are going to provide

如何進行

112/04/20 11


• Whether the problem is a knowledge or skill issue or both

• How quickly the solution is required • What the shelf-life ( 產品生命 ) of the

solution will be • The learners involved • Their line managers and how they would

like their people to learn or have their performance ( 技能 ) supported

112/04/20 12

By understanding these factors …

• You can then design a solution that will fit with the way learners work and thereby ensure– they are used– they are successful

112/04/20 13

Current trend appears to be …

• to outsource the creation of complex, sophisticated Formal Content solutions like interactive courses or simulations

• internally produce less complex Formal Content solutions as well as the full range of Informal Learning solutions

112/04/20 14

Step 3

Decide which tool you are going to use to develop the solution

選擇工具

112/04/20 15


• Whether you are in education or business– Are you looking for purely corporate or

educational tools or are happy with ones that cross domains

112/04/20 16


• Your budget - budgetary considerations may not be an important issue, although of course most people like to use cost-effective if not free tools.

112/04/20 17


• the computing platform ( 電腦平台 ) you personally use (PC, Mac etc) and that of your organization – this will of course determine not only

whether you can download and install software on your own computer, but also whether the tools are available for your platform

112/04/20 18

Our focus is on tools in the following

( 以下的焦點擺在 “工具” )

What is an e-learning tool?

Two perspectives in the following

(from: eLearning concepts & techniques, Chap 4)

112/04/20 19

First Perspective( 第一個觀點 … )

112/04/20 20

Categories of tools工具的種類

• There isn‘t one single tool that brings e-learning to life. ( 沒有任何單一工具能滿足 e-learning 需求 )

• E-learning requires tools in three different categories to be successful.(e-learning 需要三種類型的工具 )

112/04/20 21

Three categories of tools

• Tools to Create courseware( 製作教材的工具 )

• Tools to Offer courseware (“ 提供 / 傳遞”教材的工具 , e.g., web server, LMS)

• Tools to Access courseware ( 存取 / 閱覽教材的工具 )

112/04/20 22

Tools to Create製作教材的工具

• By what means will the content be authored and integrated?– Processing of authoring and integrating

content

112/04/20 23

Tools to Offer “ 提供 / 傳遞”教材的工具

• By what means will your e-learners be able to access the content?– Makes sure the e-learning you create can be

accessed by learners conveniently and efficiently by making e-learning available over a network 學習者能方便且有效率地存取

– administering your e-learning offerings管制數位學習內容

– controlling and tracking access管控與追蹤學習者使用狀況

112/04/20 24

Tools to Access存取 / 閱覽教材的工具

• By what means will the e-learners locate ( 找到 ) and experience ( 體驗 ) the content?– Learning requires tools to find ( 尋找 ),

navigate ( 操控 ), display ( 顯示 ) and play ( 播放 ) e-learning content

112/04/20 25

Categories of tools工具的種類

• For a complete e-learning solution ( 完整的數位學習解決方案 ), software is required to meet each of these above categories

112/04/20 26

112/04/20 36

Second Perspective ( 第二個觀點… )

112/04/20 37

What are eLearning tools?

• E-learning tools come in three main flavors; – a content/course or learning management

system (CMS/LMS)– synchronous collaboration applications, and – all other computer tools/applications

• including asynchronous collaboration applications.

112/04/20 38

What are eLearning tools?

• The fourth type– Game play or game simulation software is

rapidly becoming the fourth type of readily accepted e-learning tool.

112/04/20 39

(1) CMS / LMS

• Include applications like Blackboard, Moodle, WebCT, Desire2Learn, etc, – that create a shell in which to organize the

content of the instruction.

112/04/20 40

(1) CMS / LMS

• These CMS/LMS applications can be quite robust by offering the ability – to include self-contained surveys or

assessments, – to track individual learner use of the course

site and all of the components – to provide forums for asynchronous and

synchronous learner-to-learner and learner-to-instructor communication.

112/04/20 41

(2) Synchronous collaboration tools

• Include applications like – Wimba, CentraOne, HorizonLive, Elluminate,

NetMeeting, etc. – These applications allow real-time

communication via voice and video, as well as, a virtual whiteboard, text chat and possibly application sharing capabilities.

112/04/20 42

(3) Others

• Email, instant messaging, blogs, podcasts, surfing the Web, CDs, DVDs, mp3s and online and offline computer applications can be used to deliver e-learning.

• Just about any computer application can be an e-learning delivery or collaboration tool.

112/04/20 43

(4) Games and game play

• is the up-coming fourth type of e-learning delivery tool.

• From the use of – Solitaire ( 接龍 ) in Business Education

classes to assess mouse skills – SIMS ( 模擬市民 ) in middle school Social

Studies to teach types of government,

• Gaming is making its way into education.

112/04/20 44

112/04/20 46

(4) Games and game play

• Game Based Learning Research– http://www.drkoops.nl/, aims to create an

computer game that teaches a player about electricity

• The second life (http://secondlife.com/)

What's next?

• “Learning how to learn has become the most fundamental skill that an educated person needs to master and the instrument ( 工具 ) that enables learning in almost every field is the computer.” – Dr Peshe Kauriloff, Adjunct Associate

Professor of English, University of Pennsylvania (“E-learning quotations”, 2006)

112/04/20 48

What's next?

• “Someday, in the distant future, our grandchildren's grandchildren will develop a new equivalent of our classrooms. They will spend many hours in front of boxes with fires glowing within. May they have the wisdom to know the difference between light and knowledge.”– Plato 柏拉圖 (“E-learning quotations”, 2006)

112/04/20 49

Plato 柏拉圖( 約公元前 427 年－前 347 年 )

112/04/20 50

More …

• As educators and developers we must determine which tools fit our pedagogical (教學的 ) needs before we can determine which tool to incorporate into our e-learning strategy.
