Understanding the meaning of E-Learning

• E-learning is referred to as the form of a
  learning system that employs electric
  technological resources to deliver education to a
  large number of recipients at the same time. Also
  known as electronic learning, online learning,
  and internet learning it enables people to learn
  at their own time and at a place convenient to
  them. Sometimes, the lecture is pre-recorded,
  while sometimes it is delivered live where you
  can electronically raise your hand and interact
  in real-time. 
• With the evolution in technology, this mode of
  learning has been largely embraced by masses
  including the corporate sector as well as the
  education sector. Many organizations conduct
  training programs for their employees so that
  they can acquire hard as well as soft skills. The
  utilization of E-learning in schools have
  surpassed the traditional approach of class-based
  learning.

  been revealed that for every dollar you invest in
  e-learning, the result is 30 in productivity,
  mostly because employees save a lot of time
  through online learning and can resume work and
  apply the new skills faster.
• Flexible- This form of electronic learning
  removes geographical obstacles as it doesnt
  require the learner and the teacher to be
  physically present. Information can be delivered
  and grasped while sitting at any corner of the
  world. 
• Offers personalization- It offers programs and
  courses catered as per individual needs and
  preferences. It allows learners to choose their
  learning path and navigate at their own pace.

Choosing the E-Learning Method 

• In todays digital era, E-learning takes place
  through various methods. The three most common
  methods are Synchronous E-learning, Asynchronous
  E-Learning, and Blending E-learning (a
  combination of the two). 
• Synchronous E-Learning Method
• It is a method of e-learning where the learning
  takes place in a real-time. During the program
  both the parties need to be present at the same
  time in the virtual world. It is specifically
  meant for concept-based training, training of
  very complex concepts, and sometimes training for
  learners who require the presence of a trainer. 
• Examples of Synchronous E-Learning
• Live webcasting
• Virtual classrooms 
• Video and audio conference
• Chats and webinars

• Asynchronous E-Learning Method
• It is a method of e-learning which involves
  pre-recorded video lessons and gamed based
  learning concepts. In this, both the parties need
  not to be present at the same time. The learner
  can absorb the information as per his own
  convenience and time. It employs media that is
  not instantaneous. 
• Examples of Asynchronous E-Learning
• Online courses 
• Blogs
• Email 
• Discussion forums and groups 
• CDs and DVDs

• Blended E-Learning Method
• It is a blend of both Synchronous and the
  Asynchronous ways of e-learning. It makes use of
  the proportion of each of the blended ingredients
  depending on the audience, the amount of
  independence and guidance required during the
  training/learning. For an instance, in
  soft-skills training and sales training, a
  blended approach works the best as it requires
  face-to-face presence for a truly impactful
  session. 
• Examples of Blended E-Learning
• Online and offline courses 
• Self-paced and collaborative learning
• Customized content and off-the-shelf content

E-Learning Delivery Platforms

• There are basically two modes which assist in
  the delivery of e-learning course or program.
  They are entitled as- Learning Management System
  (LMS) and Learning Content Management System
  (LCMS).
• Learning Management System (LMS)
• It is referred to as software that is designed
  specifically to create, distribute, and manage
  the delivery of educational content. It can be a
  stand-alone product or cloud-based platform that
  is hosted by the software firm. 
• How does it help? 
• It allows the learner to take individual lessons
  and turn them into courses. It lets you store
  your content in one place therefore reducing the
  risk of losing important data. 
• Examples
• Open-Source
• SaaS Cloud
• Proprietary
