You might have heard a little something about e-learning this past month or so? These are the 10 different types of e-learning: Computer Managed Learning (CML) Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) Synchronous Online Learning Asynchronous Online Learning Fixed E-Learning Adaptive E-Learning Linear E-Learning Interactive Online Learning Individual Online Learning Collaborative Online Learning Synchronous Online Learning Synchronous …
Collaborative learning is an e-learning approach where students are able to socially interact with other students, as well as instructors. Collaborative online learning is usually called “online teams” or “online groups.” my Courses Groups and Discussions tools, along with web-conferencing tools like Zoom, enable instructors to create student groups that can collaborate easily online, and help eliminate logistical problems associated …
Fixed e-learning is a fancy name for something you are likely already familiar with. “Fixed” in this context means that the content used during the learning process does not change from its original state and all the participating students receive the same information as all the others. The materials are predetermined by the teachers and …
Linear learning is an educational approach which involves pedagogical strategies concerning program-centeredness (directed, conducted, controlled, guided by the study program) and linear formats. It stands in opposition to flexible learning. A linear learning format implies that to be able to, for example, learn the content of module C, one is required to have mastered (through evaluation …
Adaptive e-learning is a new and innovative type of e-learning, which makes it possible to adapt and redesign learning materials for each individual learner. Taking a number of parameters such as student performance, goals, abilities, skills, and characteristics into consideration, adaptive e-learning tools allow education to become more individualized and student-centered than ever before. The …
What is Synchronous e-learning? Synchronous learning is the type of learning you participate in when sitting in class or a training seminar. Synchronous learning is learning in real-time with a teacher, tutor, or facilitator at the helm of the room, leading the discussion, encouraging active participation in the learning material. When taking this format online, …
In today’s elearning environment the type of learning that takes place is generally divided into one of two categories: synchronous and asynchronous. Both strategies have their own pros and cons, and the technique that is right for a student greatly depends upon their method of absorbing the information that is being provided. What is asynchronous …
Computer managed learning is a management tool, not a computer based learning system that delivers course materials to the learner. Having said that, with the advent of the World Wide Web some CML applications are now designed to deliver course materials. Primarily, however, computer managed learning programmes are designed to assist large groups of learners, …
Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) refers to an educational system of instruction performed almost entirely by computer. The term, Computer Based Learning (CBL) refers to the use of computers as a key component of the educational environment. While CAI and CBL can refer to the use of computers in a classroom, they more broadly refer to a structured environment in which computers …
What is eLearning? Elliott Maisie coined the term “eLearning” in 1999, marking the first time the phrase was used professionally. In the years since, eLearning’s reputation has gone from strength to strength. Understanding eLearning is simple. eLearning is learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom. In most cases, it refers …
