3. E-Learning
E-Learning is the term applied to learning that takes place remotely, through the use of technology.
Today it is a given that Distance Education is delivered by some degree through E-learning.
Technology has always been a part of this process: School of the Air

4. E-Learning
Today, most E-Learning is delivered through a “Learning Management System” (LMS).
An LMS can be used in varying degrees:
As a supplement to a face-to-face learning environment
As a means of communication between student and teacher (no face-to-face)
As an assessment/learning/evaluating tool (no teacher required)

5. How does an LMS work: Odds are that you already use an LMS…
Many Universities use them as administrative tools.
An LMS that delivers learning content will:
Pre-assess the user (sometimes)
Guide the student through a learning task
Evaluate and report

Blackboard
Desire2Learn
Edvance360
Edmentum
Moodle

7. Flipped and Blended…
E-learning can be incorporated into face-to-face learning models.
Flipped learning refers to a classroom model in which most of the “transmission” of knowledge/instruction occurs through e-learning, while face-to-face learning is hands-on, collaborative, demonstrative, etc.
Blended learning is a deliberate combination of face-to-face and e-learning models
