ASSIGNMENT PURPOSE OF ONLINE LEARNING Submitted by, Nithya .S. Nair Physical sciences Badriya B.Ed training College kollam
ONLINE LEARNING E-learning (also called electronic learning) is any type of learning that takes place through or with a computer. E-learning is primarily facilitated through the Internet but can also be accomplished with CD-ROMs and DVDs, streaming audio or video and other media. The purpose of e-learning is to allow people to learn for personal accomplishment or to earn a professional degree, without physically attending a traditional university or academic setting. E-learning can be applied for all levels of schooling from grade school to graduate degrees, and is versatile enough to accommodate all learning styles The only requirements for e-learning (in most cases) requires a computer with Internet access or a CD/DVD-ROM drive, e-learning students can learn from home, libraries, Internet cafes or any other location that has Internet access. This is why e-learning is a preferred option for those who work full time or part time and cannot afford to travel to a physical school. The ease of location with e-learning also makes it preferable to stay-at-home parents with young or special-needs children. E-learning can also save money in that e-learners do not have to pay for gas, vehicle repair or parking validation if they choose to remain at home while taking courses online. Ease of location is also beneficial to students who are home-schooled, as they can gain social interaction through online communications as well as educational materials.
One of the most important aspects of online learning is the freedom it gives those wanting to learn, in comparison with traditional schooling methods. Many people who would like to go back to school simply don't have the time to travel to and sit through a physical class. With online learning, you travel as far as your computer and can, in most cases, fit your schooling around your normal schedule. Online education, according to Montgomery College, gives people skills that many employers might find desirable. Skills such as e-mail, research ability and computer use are all demonstrated by simply taking online courses. You can also use the valuable computer and Internet skills you learn by taking online classes in your everyday life to keep up with people and things you care about over the Internet. This is important because it doesn't really matter what class you're taking online, just the simple fact that you're learning or demonstrating that you know how to use a computer in such a manner can go a long way. With physical education, classrooms can frequently become overcrowded. For some, simply having others present is enough to cause a distraction that could take from their learning experience. With online education, it's kind of like having a one-on-one virtual tutor. Montgomery College says that students often have direct e-mail access to instructors. This allows questions to easily be answered and helps ensure students won't be too embarrassed to ask the question in the first place.
Self-discipline and discipline, while similar, are still different. When you take an online course it requires more self-discipline to follow through than it would if you physically had teachers and other students expecting you to be in the classroom with them at a specific time. Enrolling in and completing online courses shows a high level of self-discipline, which means you can take the initiative with things and don't have to wait for others to tell or show you what to do. One of the most beautiful things about online education is that it's not just for college students. Many free courses are available online through programs like OpenCourseWare and The Khan Academy. In fact, many prestigious universities such as MIT, UC Berkley and UC Irvine offer totally free online courses through OpenCourseWare. While this option won't get you the official college credits taking the paid class would, it can still teach you valuable skills and information that can be applied to your life and career There are a number of types of e-learning that depend on the amount of physical interaction. Entirely online e-learning occurs without any face-to face interaction. Course work and materials are distributed electronically through email, websites, online forums and/or CDs or DVD-ROMs. Combined learning uses a combination of Internet-directed instruction, as well as face-to-face interaction. Most traditional colleges and universities use combined learning as students learn in physical classrooms, with instruction augmented by online lessons. For those learning for personal accomplishment, e-learning can also use a combination of e-learning types, as they can be entirely self-directed, or they can use the assistance of an expert in their selected field.
E-learning has also been praised as a lower-cost option for those seeking additional education. Costs for individual classes and learning institutions vary depending on location, degree or type of program, and area of study. Online universities generally charge the same way traditional universities do, by charging per credit hour. But also like traditional universities, scholarships, grants, and student loans are available as well. See the Resources list below for sites with information about e-learning costs by discipline and degree desired. However, e-learning can also be used to support these developments at both local and national levels, while digital technologies provide educators with opportunities to share ideas and resources through partnerships and learning communities, and across geographic boundaries. THANK YOU
