Electronic Learning Abbreviations: e-learning E-learning elearning ELearning The three E's: E Electronic Enhanced Evolution 3 3

Electronic Learning 4 4

Definition of Electronic Learning There is a lot of published definitions: All forms of electronically supported teaching and learning Computer and network-enabled enabled transfer of knowledge and skills In-classroom and out-of of-classroom educational experiences via technology... 5 5

Definition of Electronic Learning The initial version: Computer based learning The advanced version & Internet based learning The next version: & Online learning The next advanced version: & Mobile & Collaborative &??? learning Broad definition: Process of learning with the use of modern IC technologies, to improve the quality and outcomes of learning, to improve the conditions for learning in the given area and make them suitable for students. 6 6

The Main M points in Electronic Learning New technologies are available to students and lecturers, but do not guarantee success in electronic learning The magic triangle of electronic learning success: technological approach pedagogical approach organizational approach The success of electronic learning depends on motivation of: lecturers, students. 7 7

The Main points in Electronic Learning Technology is crucial, not only important segment: Multimedia Communication tools Tools for development of electronic teaching materials Instructional Design is also an important segment, it includes new forms of: Learning environment Learning mechanism Electronic Courses Tutoring is a very important segment, it includes: Communication and collaboration between the lecturers and their students Monitoring of students' work 8 8

Development of Electronic Teaching Materials Content in the form of: text images animations audio and video contents It can be delivered via: the Internet satellite TV CD or DVD It can be: self-placed or instructor-led 9 9

Development of Electronic Teaching Materials Requirements: Less text, more illustrations and animations The content by the curriculum Composed by a team of experts Original design A lot of interaction Personalized content 10 10

Instructional Design of Electronic Courses Development of teaching materials Development of learning environment Design of course structure Design of course activities Implementation of course Evaluation of course 11 11

Electronic Learning Environment Read only Web Web 1.0 (since 1993.) Read & Write Social Web Web 2.0 (since 2004.) Semantic (Intelligent) Web Web 3.0 (in progress) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntpvgn04sdk&feature=youtu.be 12 12

Learning in Web 1.0 world: One-way flow of information in teaching Communication tool: e-mail Web 1.0 The lecturer is the center of the learning process 13 13

Web 2.0 Learning Management Systems (LMS) Learning in Web 2.0 world: Two-way way flow of information in teaching Communication tools: e-mail, forums, chats, conference calls, videoconferences,, WebEx... Web 2.0 tools: LMS YouTube Wikipedia Wikis, Blogs Online quizzes Social networks... The student is more and more becoming the center of the learning process 14 14

Web 3.0 Personal Learning Environments (PLE) Learning in Web world 3.0: Two-way way flow of information in teaching Increasing communic ommunication: lecturer student and student student Web 3.0 tools: LMS PLE Development of intelligent collaborative tools Individualization of contents The student is the center of the learning process 15 15

Actual Electronic Learning Environment: LMS LMS includes: Database (dates about lecturers, students, resources, activities ) Multimedia contents (formats: html, swf, pdf,, jpg ) Web portal (menus, lists, themes ) LMS introduces the new roles of: Lecturers courses designers, teachers, tutors Students very active participants of learning process Very important: Course can not be started without a prepared environment Course can not be realized without a prepared tutoring Course can not be ended without an evaluation 16 16

Actual Electronic Learning Environment: LMS At the beginning of the course: Setting the portal of LMS Creating the groups of participants Organizing the topics of the course At the beginning and during the course: Placing teaching materials Providing administrative support During the course: Tutoring At the end of the course: Implementation of the evaluation of course 17 17

etutoring (Electronic Courses Tutoring) etutor is a lecturer who: Sets the frame of teaching activities Creates an atmosphere for learning Leads students through the course Controls the students work Support from etutor: Intensive support - at the beginning of the course Reduced support - later 18 18

etutoring (Electronic Courses Tutoring) Discussions about the teaching material can be initiated by lecturers and students Discussions about the teaching material ensure students confidence develop students' thinking about the course break the monotony of the course According to the opinion of teachers and students:!discussions are the most important segment! 19 19

Classification of Electronic Learning The major categories: ICT supported - Lessons in-classroom - Computer based Blended (hybrid, mixed) - Lessons in-classroom and out-of of-classroom - Computer based / Via the Internet Fully online - Lessons out-of of-classroom - Via the Internet 20 20

Classification of Electronic Learning Blended learning - combination of: Traditional learning Electronic learning It is generally acceptable as: Regular activities - via the Internet Occasional activities - in the classroom 21 21

Classification of Electronic Learning using the LMS The major levels: Level Available through the LMS 1. basic course information curriculum list of textbooks and references general forum for discussions 2. calendar of activities teaching materials forums for the tasks and results homework and tests 3. all teaching materials lessons pre-exam exam activities checking of the acquisition of knowledge 22 22

Are we ready to develop the Perfect Online Textbooks? 23 23

Are we ready to provide students with the Perfect Online Environments? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntpvgn04sdk&feature=youtu.be 24 24

Are we ready to be the Perfect Online Teachers? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_a-zvcjfwf8&feature=player_embedded 25 25

Reasons for Development of Electronic Learning Students learn to use modern IC technologies Teachers can improve teaching Enabled wider access to higher education Possible cooperation with other institutions in the country Over time electronic courses profability is achieved Electronic learning is a technological imperative 26 26

Electronic Learning is more than Technology It is not simply in having a multimedia platform on a single desktop It is the combined power of a world-wide wide network of such computers that connects authors, instructors and learners with the immediacy of text, graphics, audio and video, as well as interactivity and collaborative sharing Electronic learning is the synergy of: instruction, information-on-demand and social collaboration 27 27

Electronic Learning is Learning in Our Age "Knowing in one way is not necessarily better or worse than knowing in another. It is just different" Bates and Poole 28 28

Electronic Learning is Process of Continuous Learning "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn" rn" Alvin Toffler 29 29
