There are some instances where there is no face– to– face interaction. E-learning has been used interchangeably in a wide variety of contexts, educative and otherwise. It is a planned teaching and learning experience that uses mainly internet or is computer-based, to reach learners.
Recently in most institutions of higher learning, e-learning has been used to define a specific mode to attend courses or programmes of study where the students rarely attend the traditional face-to-face classes and for on-campus access to educational facilities. Students are also able to take international classes from lecturers and instructors miles away. Different curriculums and syllabi are also transmitted in this way. Examiners too evaluate online.
E-Learning Today and Tomorrow
These lessons are generally intended to guide students through information or to help students carry out specific tasks. In the information-based content, there is no specific skill to be learned while in performance-based content, the lessons build technical skills in which the student is expected to increase proficiency.
Statistics have shown that by 2006, nearly 3.5 million students were participating in on-line learning at institutions of higher education in the United States. Many higher education for-profit institutions, now offer on-line classes compared to only about half of private, non-profit schools offer them. Research has also shown that students generally appear to be as satisfied with their on-line classes as they are with traditional ones. It also shows that private institutions may become more involved as the cost of instituting such a system decreases, considering that properly trained staff must also be hired to work with students on-line. Online education is rapidly increasing, with the advent of new technology and easier access to the internet; even online doctoral programs have even developed at leading research universities.
