- eLearning is the use of electronic resources to provide training to an audience of people. The resources can be delivered in a variety of methods. There are three primary types of eLearning: Asynchronous, Synchronous, and Blended. Asynchronous eLearning – The instructor creates a series of electronic modules or resources which are accessed by the learner at any time. The learner communicates with the instructor or other participants via email or online discussion boards and must wait for a response. A typical platform for asynchronous eLearning is Blackboard or Moodle. Synchronous eLearning – The instructor prepares a series of electronic modules or resources which are delivered in real-time via tools such as WebEx, ™ Adobe Connect, ™ or GoToMeeting™. The learner has the opportunity to interact with the instructor and other participants directly and get feedback almost immediately. Face to face classes are the most common form of synchronous learning. Blended Learning – This is a combination of Asynchronous and Synchronous learning. It is not uncommon to use a platform such as Blackboard or Moodle in a face to face course so students can access resources electronically while in class. A “best practice” form of this would be for students to read resources on the course site and come to class to have small group discussion or application of the material. A Learning Managements Systems (LMS), which combines various functionalities such as discussion boards, collaborative tools, quizzes, and video chat capabilities, are most commonly associated with eLearning. However, the tool to deliver eLearning training could be anything (CD-ROM, Web 2.0 tools, YouTube Videos, Google Hangouts, etc.) The attached chart outlines some tool for delivering eLearning using popular LMS. There is a blend of tool types that will fit almost any organizational budget.

- There are many ways to reach today’s learner. Face to Face learning is still the most common practice but is often the least flexible option for the learner. Asynchronous Learning allows the learner to learn at his/her own pace and respond to lesson prompts and activities on a time table that is flexible for them from a location that is convenient for them. Synchronous Learning requires all learners to be available at the same time, but they can get information remotely and not have to travel. Blended learning combines all three methods to allow some face to face conversations as well as get resources from remote locations and time.
- Face to Face Learning – This is how we have done business in the past. The members sign up for a location and time to take a class by an instructor in front of the class. There is theory and practical applications with hands on or simulated experiences. Generally it is difficult to provide instructional options for different learning styles. Face to face classes require the learners to adjust their busy life around the class meeting time and location. Often, this can’t be accommodated for every class and some learners miss opportunities because of commitments to family and departments.
- Asynchronous eLearning – The instructor creates a series of electronic modules or resources which are accessed by the learner at any time. The learner communicates with the instructor or other participants via email or online discussion boards and must wait for a response. A typical platform for asynchronous eLearning is Blackboard or Moodle.

- Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment) is an Open Source Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students. To work, it needs to be installed on a web server somewhere, either on one of your own computers or one at a web hosting company. There are about 20 different types of activities available (forums, glossaries, wikis, assignments, quizzes, choices (polls), scorm players, databases etc) and each can be customised quite a lot. The main power of this activity-based model comes in combining the activities into sequences and groups, which can help you guide participants through learning paths. Thus, each activity can build on the outcomes of previous ones. There are a number of other tools that make it easier to build communities of learners, including blogs, messaging, participant lists etc, as well as useful tools like grading, reports, integration with other systems and so on. Moodle is free with a web hosting package, the cost of which will vary. - From Moodle.org web site
