Basics of e learning
- 1. Basics of E-learning Dr. Arun Kumar M
- 2. E-learning- contents • Introduction • Advantages of e-learning. • Comparison E-learning and conventional methods • E-learning – Standards – ADDIE Model • Let’s Do it – Hands on • Summary
- 3. Learning objectives • At the end of session participants should be able to • Explain the difference between elearning and traditional learning • Describe the components of e-learning • Create a module based in ADDIE’s model of elearning
- 4. Introduction • A learning system based on formalized teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as E-learning. • Learning conducted via electronic media, typically on the Internet. “Successful e-learning depends on the self-motivation of individuals to study effectively“.
- 6. Advantages of e-learning “Today’s learners want personalized content at their point of need” Online learning has features that cater to these modern learner preferences – hence its rise in popularity. E-learning saves time and money. E-learning leads to better retention. E-learning is consistent. E-learning is scalable. E-learning offers personalization. https://trainingindustry.com/articles/e-learning/5-advantages-of-e-learning/
- 7. Comparison of e-learning and conventional methods • A traditional classroom setting requires physical presence and communication skills. But an online environment requires tech savviness. • Learners should be able to navigate, evaluate and create information using a variety of technologies.
- 8. E-learning versus traditional learning E- learning Traditional learning Good for specific, concise topics Better use in collaborative topics Students can learn anytime, anywhere Students can participate and interact better in role – play Takes less time for learning Can help students feel more valued Better for large population and high turnover population Better for small group and specific group of students Students can read at there convenience, like re-read, pause, test themselves Students learn from each other and spend more time on discussion Economical repeated use, saves travel time Better use of time for highly –complex information when explanation is required
- 9. Blended Learning • The term “blended” means that traditional instructor-led training is being supplemented with electronic formats.
- 11. Requirements/standards for E-learning • The ADDIE model • The professional roles • The technology needed to produce and deliver e-learning.
- 13. Analysis • Needs analysis • Target audience analysis • Task and topic analysis Who is the audience and their characteristics? Identify the new behavioural outcome? What types of learning constraints exist? What are the delivery options? What are the online pedagogical considerations? What is the timeline for project completion?
- 14. Design •The design phase should be systematic and specific. •Sequencing •Instruction, delivery and evaluation strategy • The design phase deals with Learning objectives Exercises, content Subject matter analysis Lesson planning Media selection. Assessment instruments
- 15. Documentation of the subject instructional, visual and technical design strategy Apply instructional strategies according to the intended behavioral outcomes by domain (cognitive, affective, psychomotor). Create storyboards Design the user interface and user experience Prototype creation Apply visual design (graphic design) Steps involved in the design are:
- 16. Development Phase Developers create and assemble the content assets that were created in the design phase. • Programmers work to develop and/or integrate technologies. The project is reviewed and revised according to any feedback given. • Testers perform debugging procedures.
- 17. E-learning content development template Title of the e-learning course e.g Parkinson’s disease Department and faculty involved with email id and phone numbers 1. Target students: Which term? Which Course of students? e.g. 2nd term MBBS students 1. Time of implementation: Which month of the curriculum is it ideal for students to take part in elearning course? e.g., Jan 2019, after the completion of CNS Portions Before start of internship or particular postings etc.
- 18. E-learning content development template Example Duration of course Expressed in terms of weeks? Recommended time would be 4-8 weeks e.g., 4 weeks 5 weeks Assessment categories: Type: MCQS, or Assignment Duration and weightage, Certification, if any e.g., MCQs 15 min weekly 25 marks Description of the course What is the goal of the course? Are there prerequisites? How is this training connected to other courses? About a paragraph or two (2 mins)
- 19. Description 1-2 mins What is the goal of the course? Introduction to the course ... How is this training connected to curriculum? Week 1 Module 1 Subtopic 1 Lesson 1.1 Can be 3-7 mins, Can be text or image or animation or video Lesson 1.2 3-7 mins , Can be text or image or animation or video Lesson 1.3 There can 4-6 lessons in any subtopic and 3 to 4 subtopic per weekly module Total duration 60-90 mins Assessment 2 -4 mins , Can be MCQs, or fill in the blanks or explanation based (can be scored) Subtopic 2 Lesson 2.1 Same as above Lesson 2.2 Lesson 2.3 Assessment Subtopic 3 Lesson 2.1 Lesson 2.2 Lesson 2.3 Assessment

- 21. Implementation Phase- Trainers • A procedure for training the facilitators and the learners is developed. Course curriculum Learning outcomes Method of delivery Testing procedures Training of Trainers on
- 22. Implementation phase- learners Preparation of the learners • Training them on new tools (software or hardware) Student registration process. • SMS • Email • Announcements Functional module on • Website /portal • Learning Application (LMS) • CD-ROMS • SCORM module
- 23. Evaluation Phase Formative evaluation • Formative evaluation is present in each stage of the ADDIE process. Summative evaluation • Providing opportunities for feedback from the users
- 26. Roles • The following roles are generally required at different stages of the process (but some of them can be combined into a single job profile): • Project manager • Instructional designer (ID) • Subject matter expert (SME) • Online administrator • E-tutor/facilitator • Web developer • Media editor • Technical support specialists.
- 28. Technological aspects • Internet connection • Technology is needed both to create e-learning material and make it accessible to learners. • Require the use of an LMS or other type of learning platform to track and administer learners’ activities and manage e-learning content.
