    Study Notes

    Technology & Education

    • Presented by Dr. Beiki
    • Autumn 2024
    • Islamic Azad University, North Tehran Branch
    • Faculty of Foreign Languages, TEFL Department

    E-Learning

    • E-learning is a broad term encompassing various online initiatives and uses electronic devices to deliver educational or training content to learners
    • Most people who use computers have completed some type of e-learning
    • E-learning is sometimes called web-based training, online learning, or computer-based training

    Introduction to E-Learning

    • E-learning is a critical aspect of contemporary language learning because many young people spend a lot of time online socializing and playing games
    • Learners are motivated when provided with online spaces for studying
    • Learners interact with peers and participate in virtual discussions and competitions through interactive websites and portals

    Introduction

    • E-learning allows access to materials created by native speakers, which is beneficial for language acquisition
    • Many online applications and websites offer affordable or free language training, often presented in a format of games and interactive activities
    • E-learning provides a wide range of opportunities for students, allowing them to practice skills and engage in experimental and interactive learning
    • Constant adaptability of online space allows quick updates to information and tools
    • E-learning has revolutionized the traditional chalk and board style learning, as students now have more opportunities, whether limited by geography, finances or physical limitations

    The Concept of E-Learning

    • E-learning is the acquisition of knowledge through electronic technologies and media
    • E-learning is defined as a learning experience delivered electronically, which can even include performance-support content
    • Different definitions of e-learning exist worldwide

    The Concept of E-Learning (Examples)

    • Ruiz et al. (2006) defined e-learning as using the internet for performance and knowledge enhancement
    • Arkorful and Abaidoo (2015) defined e-learning as using information and communications technologies to enable access to online teaching and learning resources
    • Clark and Mayer (2016) defined e-learning as instructions delivered through digital devices with an intent to support learning

    The Concept of E-Learning (Discussion)

    • E-learning fosters online communication between teacher and student
    • E-Learning is not the same as distance learning; instead, it complements classroom learning
    • Distance learning is focused on the distance between the teacher and student, and how technology bridges that gap.

    Types of E-Learning

    • E-learning can take many forms, including a mix of online and direct communication, web-based learning, and self-study
    • E-learning can be categorized as either synchronous or asynchronous

    Synchronous vs. Asynchronous E-Learning

    • Synchronous: instructor-led and occurs at the same time for all participants, irrespective of location

    • Communication happens directly (chat rooms/video-audio conferencing)

    • Training typically occurs in a web-conferencing or virtual classroom platform

    • Tools include slide/screen sharing, chat, polling, and screen annotation

    • Asynchronous: Learners proceed at their own pace using pre-recorded lectures/videos, text content, and interactive activities

    • Materials are available online (forums, e-mails, wikis)

    Synchronous vs. Asynchronous E-Learning (Benefits)

    • Synchronous e-learning is beneficial due to its accessibility, cost-effectiveness, scalability, and adaptability to training dispersed groups
    • Asynchronous e-learning is beneficial for individualized learning, enabling learners to learn at convenient times, given that there is a self-paced nature to the learning

    E-learning- Different Classifications

    • E-learning can be classified as mixed or blended, assistant mode, and completely online mode
    • Mixed or blended involves a short-term degree with a partly traditional method
    • Assistant mode complements the traditional mode as needed
    • Completely online involves exclusive use of the network for learning

    E-learning (Other Classifications)

    • Computer-based e-learning (using various hardware and software)
    • Internet-based e-learning (using a developed form of computer-based learning which allows learners access the internet)

    E-Learning in Education

    • Technology has advanced, bridging geographical gaps and making education available to anyone with devices and internet access
    • E-learning offers various learning formats (word documents, PDFs, videos, slideshows), as well as features like webinars, live online classes (conducted in a virtual setting), and communication via chat/message forums
    • LMSs (Learning Management Systems) use automation for efficiency, like marking and providing materials
    • E-learning is readily adaptable to changing technologies and industry developments, keeping content current

    E-Learning in Education (Advantages)

    • Reduced costs (infrastructure, stationery, travel)
    • Fast-paced information accessibility and updates, especially important for quickly developing fields
    • Flexibility for learners allowing learning to fit their schedules

    E-Learning in Education (Other Aspects)

    • E-learning is now used for numerous purposes across sectors of society
    • E-learning enables more students to access education despite possible constraints
    • E-learning accommodates numerous learning styles and allows for a learner-centric style of learning

    Online Colleges

    • Online colleges accommodate students who are physically or geographically limited
    • E-learning is increasingly utilized resulting in more international classes
    • Cost reductions for students and institutions
    • Universities should consider accommodating different learners

    Adult E-Learning

    • Online learning addresses the challenges adults face balancing employment, family duties, and learning, allowing flexibility, a self-paced schedule, and assessments at convenient times

    Corporate E-Learning

    • Companies use e-learning to boost employee knowledge, skills, and overall productivity
    • E-learning lowers costs compared with traditional training methods
    • Career seekers benefit through e-learning boosting résumés and developing new skills
    • Online learning provides "career track" training programs that promise job proposals

    Some Tools in E-Learning

    • Many tools assist language educators in conducting, managing and organizing e-learning courses

    Immersive Technologies

    • Immersive technologies create a simulated experience perceived as real, including virtual reality, augmented reality, and telepresence
    • Technologies simulate a classroom presence and provide digitization representing a real academic circumstance
    • Augmented reality enhances the real world with computer-generated perceptiual information

    Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

    • Virtual reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) use advanced technology like headsets to improve interactive learning with simulations, video tours, 3D movies, and educational games
    • VR takes users into a virtual world for experiences, whereas AR overlays digital images onto real world environments
