WHAT IS E-LEARNING

1. E-LEARNING AND DIGITAL MEDIA

E-Learning is a concept that covers the use of information technology to enable teaching and learning.

1.1 WHAT IS E-LEARNING

E-Learning is a concept that covers the use of information technology to enable teaching and learning.

In some cases, some learning institutions or training providers could use a hybrid approach, whereby students could learn online and go as well to a physical training centre (or campus) to facilitate the completion of the learning program.

E-Learning could also be both formal and informal.

There is no absolute single way of doing it. It all depends on what kind of programs you are facilitating as a training provider (or online teacher) or participating as a student (or online learner); and of course, what sort of technology or platform you are using.

E-learning as a form of distance education (with a 100% online approach) has become very attractive to students who could not make it to the physical campus to study.

With the emergence of advanced information technologies and digital media, learning one-hundred percent (100%) online has become fully accessible, more than ever.

In fact, students could approach learning at their own convenient place and time, depending on the modules or the online course or program.

At such point, E-learning as a form of distance education (with a 100% online approach) has become very attractive to students who could not make it to the physical campus to study.

Many business owners, executives and career seekers have been looking at E-Learning as the best means to further their knowledge and skills and ultimately earn their certificates, online badge or other digital form, to validate their learning achievement.

WHAT IS DIGITAL MEDIA

1.2 WHAT IS DIGITAL MEDIA

Digital media basically refers to any type of media created with the use of technological platform to produce digital content.

Digital media basically refers to any type of media created with the use of technological platform to produce digital content.

Creating such digital content would require technical skills, creative skills, and production management skills.

Now, with digital media, it has become easier and practical to learn online.

Imagine that you have been dreaming to acquire skills and knowledge about a certain subject or topic. Or perhaps, you simply want to upgrade your knowledge.

What if you’re busy or you live in a remote place, or you are in a situation in which going to a physical campus or training centre is not possible? What if affordability is your concern? Would that be a hindrance for you to pursue learning?

You have to assess yourself.

Some are even providing free access or free audit, at a given time-frame, depending on the institution. In such a case, you would know if online learning would work for you.

Moreover, you can access any information about the course that you want to study, all at the comfort of your own home or office.

Of course, that would depend on your objective and motivation for learning and completing the course or program.
