2. A comprehensive software package that supports
quot;courses that depend on the WWW for some
combination of delivery, testing, simulation,
discussion, or other significant aspectquot; (Robby
Robson, 2001).
Previous technologies:
 Unlike CAL(Computer Assisted Leaning) packages they are
not tied to a particular subject
 Unlike a straightforward set of web pages they
incorporate links to more powerful technologies
(usually databases)

3. Bruce Landon lists more than 112 such systems
on his
Web Tool for Comparative Analysis of Online Educ
site.
According to Robson, institutions decide
according to quot;perceptions about ease of use,
appearance of the interface, recommendations
from peers, marketing strategies and position
in the marketquot; and NOT according to
pedagogic distinctions.

4.  quot;Increased competition, decreased funding and
a shift in global trends in education have made
the risk of not moving in this directionquot;,
Karen Lazenby, 1998.
E-learning systems are seen as the solution to
their current problems . . .
 Most writers would agree with Lazenby above
to the extent that these recent trends have
posed considerable problems for universities,
Goodyear, 1998

5.  While giving educational reasons for their
implementation also imply that the initial
decision was taken in response to a need to
attract more students. Betty Collis
 This is a pattern currently being followed at
most schools which seek to extend the market
for courses .

6.  living outside the region or even the country
 living locally but who have difficulty attending
 wanting to take vocational courses in their
workplace
quot;The online model of education is not yet in wide use
or fully accepted, however predictions of its spread
and eventual dominance of the educational market
place occur regularly in magazines and the pressquot;,
Allan Ellis

7.  Not so much easy but it can be learned and
nowadays eLMS becomes more friendly.
 The students can access the site from home or
work.
 The eLMS can be improved
“Technology is only a tool and is only as effective
as the ideas and applications of those who deal
with the technological challenges“, Mercedes
Fisher

8. quot; the whole idea of how one prepares for a course
is likely to changequot;, Collis
quot;. . . successful learning is not driven by
content, but by context and activityquot; Oliver &
McLoughlin
 Don't just upload your lecture notes and
presentations online
 The challenge is improve students learning
experience and not to produce boring “slide
show”

9.  Active and Collaborative learning
 Independent and Student-centered
 Problem-based
 Critical
 Reflective
 Appreciation of multiple perspectives

10.  Needs assessment -- Different companies have
different training needs
 E-learning is a means of extending the training
capabilities of the company, not duplicating them
Companies may use e-learning for:
 Training & Competency
 Ongoing Staff Development / Enrichment
 Knowledge Base
 Knowledge Transfer
 Solutions Forum

11.  Case Study 1: Reducing the costs of live
training
 Case Study 2: Providing training under
different brand names
 Case Study 3: Analyzing training program
success

12.  Management not only of courses, but of
supporting quot;non-coursequot; content
 Integration of online self-study, live classroom
meetings and virtual training methods
 quot;Agentquot; technologies that can present
dynamically generated, customized training
content
 Full support within any course for discussions
 Sophisticated tracking & analysis tools
 quot;Classroomquot; paradigms
 Support for IMS/AICC/SCORM standards
 Modular architecture

13.  The IMS Global Learning Consortium, Inc. (IMS
standards), is working with
Aviation Industry CBT Committee (AICC standards),
Advanced Distributed Learning (SCORM standards)
and other standards committees to develop one set of
standards which will serve today's e-learning vendors.
The ADL has stated that SCORM will adopt the IMS
standards for interoperability as they become finalized.

14.  Moodle (Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning
Environment) -- a software package for producing
internet-based courses and web sites. It's an
ongoing development project designed to support
a social constructionist framework of education.
