Internet:Greatest impact
Books and journals have found their way to the desktops of students and research scholars.
Thanks to the invention of electronic resources, easy, quick and anytime access to books and journals have made an effective learning.
E-resources serve as a platform for random access to multiple users at the same time and save plenty of time.
Robust Interactivity
E-learningE-learning has developed very fast due to internet.The internet and the world wide web has provided
us with easy access to information and knowledge.
E-learning is a technology which supports teaching and learning using a computer web technology.
It bridges the gap between a teacher and a student in different ways.
The computer-based Instruction has progressed from usage of CD-ROM to the internet then to the web-based instruction(WWW.)
E-learning
• In an on-line multimedia learning environment:– teaching & learning is ‘one-to-one’
(individual)
– more interactivity (in normal classroom, it varies with the class size)
– learner-centred– Learner monitoring & grading system
In a true learner-centered environment, the learner is the beginning and end point of the learning process, and the learner’s needs are the focus of the program.
Tools are available as the learners needs.The instructor adjusts to the studentThe quality of instruction is measured against
standards The student is an active partner in the learning
processThe course is continually renewed through
feedback from learners
LEARNER CENTERED
LEARNER MONITORING:Learners learn to assess their own progress.Helping learners to identify the progress they
have made, to understand what they have achieved and what they need to do next, to make progress towards their goals and qualifications.
GRADING SYSTEM:In a grading system learners are placed in
ability bands that represents a range of scores.It reflects on individual learners performance in
the form of certain level of achievement in relation to the whole group of learners.
E-learning, Web-based learning E-learning is mostly associated with activities
involving computers and interactive networks simultaneously. The computer does not need to be the central element of the activity or provide learning content. However, the computer and the network must hold a significant involvement in the learning activity.
Web-based learning is associated with learning materials delivered in a Web browser, including when the materials are packaged on CD-ROM or other media. disk.
Online learning Online learning :is associated
with content readily accessible on a computer. The content may be on the Web or the Internet, or simply installed on a CD-ROM or the computer hard disk.
What is E-learning?
The letter `e’ in e-learning stands for the word `electronic’.
E-learning pioneer BERNARD LUSKIN(2001) explains `e’ as exciting, energetic, enthusiastic, emotional, extended and educational.
E-learning is internet-enabled learning.It is a store house of education, information,
communication, training, knowledge and performance management.

Delivery methods of e-learning
Synchronous learningAsynchronous learning
Instructor-led groupSelf-study with subject expert
Web-based: blog-Wikis-forumsComputer-based (CD-ROM)
Video/audio streaming
Synchronous learning Within synchronous learning; learning and
teaching takes place in real time (same time) while the trainer and learners are physically separated from each other (place shift).
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 learning Characteristic for asynchronous 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
Examples include: self paced courses taken via Internet or CD-Rom videotaped classes stored audio/video Web presentations or
seminars recorded audio tapes Q & A mentoring reading e-mail messages

Traditional & E-learning Approach
Traditional and E-learning approaches
Traditional Classroom E-Learning
Classroom • Physical – limited size• Synchronous
• Unlimited• Anytime, anywhere
Content • PowerPoint/transparency/etc• Textbooks/library• Video• Collaboration
• Multimedia / simulation• Digital library• On demand• Syn & Asyn. Communication
Personalisation • One learning path • Learning path and pace determined by learner
Instructor led trainingIt refers to the traditional classroom training
where a teacher teaches a classroom full of students.
The problems of this training are1. Distance: Bringing together the students under one roof for requires time and money.2. Audience size and response time: Same planning is required for smaller and larger group of students in planning, infrastructure and instructors. 3. Off the job time: working people face difficulty in finding a replacement for their jobs.
Concept of e-learning
In our rapid changing world, we find it difficult to overcome the learning challenges and the possible achievements.
To bridge this gap, the concepts such as e-learning, e-teaching, e-teachers has become the part of effective education.
E-teaching E-teaching is the appreciation of live
teaching with streaming lectures, whiteboards, downloadable slide sets and discussion forum.
E-teaching is an automation of an existing teacher-centered educational approach
The real work is in creating content and learning management systems that support e-learning.
E-teachersE-teachers are teachers who work in an
internet environment in both regular and virtual classroom situations.
They build new concepts of working in time and space.
They find new learning resources as they interact with information, materials and ideas with their students and colleagues.
Impact of e-learning on teaching learning processComputer based networking system has
provided the present day teacher with a choice of modern tools to deliver the goods in the classroom and end the instructional boundaries.
Information and communication technology in which e-learning, e-teaching, e-teachers are built in components has some impacts on teaching learning process
