Problems In E Learning

The process of E learning is not a perfect one. The problems is that is not only on the user but the e learning itself. di

It has several problems pertaining to e-learning. There are plenty of them but the most interesting issues that stand out only two.
  1. The first is that the course material used in e-learning sometimes is unattractive and non-compelling.
  2. Secondly, is the poverty of pedagogies for e-learning. The pedagogies refers to the ‘teachers' teaching the various chapters of a course via the elearning process.

From the research i have known that these two issues are related to each other as well. What is perhaps surprising is that a very limited heed is being paid to the issue of pedagogies required for e-learning.

Many researches that were conducted to know the efficacy of the process and effective e Learning indicates that online communities must be build to collect knowledge together as they work on interesting and realistic projects and problems that we come across in the life. Even to learn the robust "soft skills" (such as negotiation or sales techniques, leadership) people must compile and build their existing knowledge by using the new knowledge in various ways. The people involved in the process must actively try to bring new ideas and skills. They must try to get a feedback on a project or performance of individual or organization. They need to reflect what they have learnt or done in the particular time period. Major companies in the world today have embraced e-learning as a cost-effective method of delivering learning to an enterprise learners and employees. However, business divisions who have special and particular needs and mid-size and small companies continue to face stiff challenges and financial crunch to implement e-learning program and solutions to fit their scale.

Once starting with the e learning course, the following points must be kept in mind. The important criteria for evaluating quality in elearning are:
The course should be free from any technical aberration and user should be comfortable while using the same.The course should be designed explicitly and follow a pedagogical design principles suitable to particular learner type, his needs and context of learning.
The subject of the course is state of art and thus should be up dated regularly.There should be high level of interaction as well.

E Learning Is Future?


So what is the future of E Learning? This question is now being asked to one who advocate the process or provide it. Nobody has the exact answer to this question, but it is an important one to consider. We are in transition phase and very soon technology and education will soon become mutually interdependent. In oder to enhance the knowledge base and expand opportunities for future every person will need to learn how to use technology to improve their education. The world is shrinking rapidly. With the Internet the world has come together in ways that nobody would have expected few decades ago. E-learning has become a widely accepted method of training and education within schools, colleges and organisations.
The experts say that E-learning is here to stay and one should have no doubts regarding that. It will increasingly become popular in the training portfolio. But we must learn how and when to use this process and facility to its best advantage. Organisations are becoming more sophisticated with their use of training delivery and over time it is believed that the new approaches would be used. Emerging technologies such as wireless and 3G will further enhance the penetration and flexibility of the medium. If the quality of the content provided is maintained and overhauled it will definitely emerge as an exciting industry and the one to keep watching!
Technology has changed and is increasingly changing our lives today as well. It started with the emergence of the desktop computer and now it is the Internet. The internet has enabled the ordinary person to access the never-ending volumes of information and knowledge. Technology and the Internet facilitate a more active role in the educational process and empowers the individual. The all indications are that the education over the Internet is going to be very big. As more and more people get connected, the Internet will penetrate deeper and will influence our everyday activities, including the way we learn.E-learning is becoming a mature market and thus you can learn a great deal and increase your knowledge about almost everything. The cost of enrolling into an e Learning program has also reduced. In the last five years various technology platforms, tools, and course ware have evolved significantly and this attracts you into the e-learning space.

the advantages of e learning


Advantages Of E learning

if have the chance to study i wish to have e learning as my ways of learning because there are numerous advantage of e learning which are very interesting :


  1. flexibility, convenience and the ability to work at any time and at any place. The only requirement is an internet connection which is easily available and at one's own place.

  2. E-classes are free from any compulsions and allows learner to participate and complete coursework according to his will and free time.

  3. education media is a viable option for those that have to carry on with the certain other commitments as well. These commitments may vary from family to work to other and hence cannot participate easily. example depending on a disability.

  4. The other advantage is that one need not to commute to and from campus and thus saving transportation cost and time.

  5. the ability to communicate with fellow learners, a greater adaptability to learner's needs requirement.


  6. provides more variety in the experience of learning with the use of multimedia and the non-verbal presentation of teaching stuff.

When required video recorded lectures and MP3 files can be provided for visual and audio learning. E learning has many benefits compared to organizing classroom program for organization where there is no learning every time. (e.g. restaurant staff).

for example this video that show how e learning give a lots of benefits from e learning.

A New Wave of Learning



Well in the first post i did mention about internet, however i was just giving an introduction about internet that is the basic and the most important elements in what I am going to discuss on this post.What I mean about a new wave of learning is that we are now having changes in our education


E-learning is the term that is mostly used to describe the various aspects of online learning, technology-delivered instruction and web-based training. Its major features are:
1. Internet learning which is mainly real-time, 24 hours and 7 days a week, anywhere and anytime.
2. It is mainly centered across the learner, personalized to the individual & customized to any company, firm or organization.
3. It is network-assisted and often you learn in the matter of fly or assembling learning experiences on the fly.
4. It is perfect blend of learning method such as-- virtual classroom, collaboration, simulation, community and even a classroom.
5. the whole learning process is through assessment, testing and sometimes even the certification
6. It is completely administered online which includes -- handling registration, payment and charge-backs and monitoring learners' progress etc.





So What does the word ELearning actually means. The definition of E Learning is given by few experts as:--
* e-Learning is the convergence of learning and the Internet. - Banc of America Securities
* e-Learning is the use of network technology to design, deliver, select, administer, and extend LEARNING. - Elliott Masie, The Masie Center
* We define e-Learning companies as those that leverage various Internet and Web technologies to create, enable, deliver, and/or facilitate lifelong learning. - Robert Peterson, Piper Jaffray.





These all are various definitions based on its uses and applications. But we must remember that there is a difference between E Learning and Web Learning. E learning includes and covers a wide set of applications and processes which includes computer-based learning, virtual classrooms, Web-based learning and digital application. The process uses several other mediums for the purpose of educating and training. These methodologies include the Internet, intranets, extranets, audio/video tape, interactive TV satellite broadcast and CD-ROM. On the other hand Web Based learning constitutes just one part of technology-based learning and imparts the learning through Internet, intranet and extranet.

what is internet????


assalamualikum to all my friend

the purpose of me writing this blog is to give information about the internet. do you know what is internet? i bet you don't know about it, mostly people only know how to use it like what we are doing right now. so i will try to explain about internet maybe this topic so that it will give us knowledge and memorize for our future needs.

Believe it or not, the Internet was created way back in 1969, during the Cold War, by the United States military. It was meant to be a "nuke-proof" communications network. Today, the Internet spreads across the globe and consists of countless networks and computers, allowing millions of people to share information. Data that travels long distances on the Internet is transferred on huge lines known collectively as the Internet backbone. The Internet is now maintained by the major Internet service providers such as MCI Worldcom, Sprint, GTE, ANS, and UUNET. Because these providers make huge amounts of revenue off the Internet, they are motivated to maintain consistent and fast connections which benefits everyday Internet users like you and me.

Many people think the Internet and the World Wide Web are the same thing. They're not! The World Wide Web is what you are browsing right now. It is one of the many features of the Internet. E-mail, FTP, and Instant Messaging are also features of the Internet.
