1. A Broad Look @ E-Learning By Jenni Lambert, dap01s

2. Introduction  Definition of E-Learning  History  E-learning standards  Design & Development  Benefits & Drawbacks  Future  Examples

3. Definition of E-learning  Education via Internet network standalone computer  Network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge  Using electronic applications and processes to learn

4. Definition…  e-learning applications could be Web-based learning computer-based learning virtual classrooms digital collaboration  Content is delivered via Internet, intranet/extranet audio or video satellite TV CD-ROM

5. Definition… What is it actually?  Best of both worlds ILT (Instructor Led Training) CBT (Computer Based Training)  Online training can be Synchronous Asynchronous  Online = Resources at Hand  Real-world interactivity  Personalized learning

6. Definition… common terms  Learning Object (LO)  Subject-Matter Expert (SME)  Learning Management System (LMS)  Content Management System (CMS) Learning Content Management System (LCMS)

7. History of E-learning  Pre-1983 Instructor Led Training Era  1984-1993 Multimedia Era  1993-1999 First Wave of E-learning  2000-today Second Wave of E-learning

8. History…

9. E-learning Standards  What are they for? 1. Interoperability 2. Re-usability 3. Manageability 4. Accessibility 5. Durability

10. Standards…  SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model)  AICC’s CMI (Aviation Industry CBT Committee)  IMS Meta-data Specification  Section 508

11. Design & Development

12. Design & Development…  Meta-data Power in small things Re-usability  Content Management Content in the right place Content that’s easy to manipulate

13. Design & Dev… Learning Object  Content SME’s  Usability & Accessibility User oriented  Appearance Appealing but durable

14. Design & Dev… Solution examples  Simple informational solutions  e-Books and e-textbooks  Streaming media and presentations  Live e-learning events  Interactivity and testing  Games and simulations  Online courses and tutorials  Learning by email  Collaborative learning  Blogging and RSS

15. Benefits & Drawbacks of E-learning + Unique teaching method + Individualized + Asynchronous self-paced learning + Learning on demand - Less human interaction - Portability - Technology dependant

16. Future of E-learning  What’s after the HYPE?  Simulation-learning  Mobile-learning  Virtual Classrooms  In search of Communities  Open-Source learning?  Quality? Professional E-learning companies Independent Tools
