- 10. Types of E-Learning Informal Learners occasionally navigate different websites to learn information without any structured curriculum. Kassens- Noor, 2012 referred to Twitter as an “active, informal, and outside-of-class learning tool” (p. 2). Self-paced learners access learning materials designed by training professionals at their preferred time, location, and pace. (e.g. learners independently develop learning strategies in an e-Learning course) (Wiklund-Engblom, 2009).
- 11. Types of E-Learning (continued) Leader-led An instructor or professional leader designs instructional activities and facilitates students’ learning electronically. Students can access synchronous course-related information per video-conferencing, audio, or text messaging. Students can also access asynchronous course materials online at any time. Performance support Tools Electronically supported learning and teaching (e.g. how-to software and tutorials) Sources: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructor-led_training http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=performance+support+tools&title=Special%3ASearch
- 12. Summary Reasons for embracing e-Learning: To improve the quality of educational practices To accommodate different learners’ learning styles Flexibility of time, location, and speed To practice innovative educational approaches To offer learner-centered education (eliminate passive learning and foster interactive learning while engaging the participants) And much more ….. Thank you for your time!

Notes de l'éditeur
- Web-and-computer-based learning and teachingVirtual education and digital collaborationOpportunities to access and learn information online
- To incorporate pedagogical principles such as social learning theory and multiple intelligences theory into our instructional activities2. To bring experts into the classroom worldwide3. To revamp the curriculum and maximize learning and teaching opportunities while utilizing technology
- The learning pyramid indicates that we learn and remember best when we teach others. In an online learning environment, learners can communicate, collaborate, and teach each other with positive learning outcomes.
- Social learning perspectives: Context: Interactions in web-based learning environment Learners interact with peers, instructors, and other professionals globally (messages, shared experiences, modeling, …) Group and class size Research indicated that large class size might be overwhelming for instructors and learners. In small groups of 15- 20 learners, students and instructors may have better opportunities to assist each other (Hill, Song, & West, 2009). Resources Providing various resources such as text, video, and audio helps accommodate different learners’ learning styles and preferences. Culture and Community: Culture Cultural differences and ethnicity influence learners’ perceptions of online learning. For example, a comparison between Korean and American graduate and undergraduate students indicated that Korean Students tend to be “goal-oriented” and believe that success is directly related to hard-work, while US students like the learning process and mastering the skills (Hill, Song, & West, 2009, p. 94). Regarding the ethnicity, foreign students who have issues with language fluency will have time in a virtual environment to process information and respond to digital communications. Community Research indicated that working in groups and communicating with peers are effective learning methods in online learning environment and create a sense of community necessary for socializing while gaining knowledge (Hill, Song, & West, 2009).
- Learner Characteristics Epistemological beliefs Includes learners personal beliefs about how knowledge is obtained. Research indicated that “constructivist-oriented” learners preferred online learning environments that promoted problem-based learning and “reflective thinking” (Hill, Song, & West, 2009, p. 95). Individual learning styles According to Howard Gardner’s multiple intelligences theory, each learner has a different learning style (Jackson, Gaudet, McDaniel, & Brammer, 2009). To accommodate different learners’ cognitive styles, e-learning brings new opportunities to facilitate learning and performance. Self-efficacy Learners’ confidence in approaching and learning new tasks. Recent studies indicated that learners who were familiar with internet technologies participated more in bulletin and discussion boards while learning to their fullest potentials (Hill, Song, & West, 2009). Motivation Intrinsic motivation – personal interest and desire for learning Extrinsic motivation – externally rewarded behaviors From a social learning perspective, different types of motivation affect learners’ online learning and performance.
- Utilizing technology to support and facilitate learningSocial networking tools such as blogs, wikis, and google docsare commonly used for communicating, collaborating, learning, teaching, and much more.
- Informal – learners occasionally explore different websites to find the information they are looking for…. Self-paced – learners access learning materials and decide when, where, and how fast to learn
- Leader-led – Instructors or leaders facilitate learning and provide assistance for learnersPerformance Support Tools – online assistance for performing different tasks electronically
