e-Learning

"E-learning has transformed the traditional premise of educational theorists. Educationists and business strategists worldwide have been compelled to think 'out of the classroom' and reflect on ways to create theories and strategies around teaching and learning online. The premise of this book is: e-learning is realistic and has a definite framework to it. The framework might require tailoring, depending on the business context and desired learning outcomes but it definitely requires a great deal of belief, commitment and interest from business leaders to accelerate their attempt at creating and building institutions. The book is an outcome of the experience of two young practitioners encompassing various areas such as understanding the client needs and proposing appropriate e-learning solutions, designing course material for e-learning products, applying old and new instructional strategies, developing CBTs and WBTs and evaluating learning products and solutions for learning effectiveness. The book collates the essence of the best lessons on e-learning from a practical view point and presents a case for designing cost-effective systems which corporates as well as educational institutions may use for enhancing productivity and learning in their organisations. It takes a three dimensional view of e-learning: content, services and technology, the various evident and not so evident issues related to implementing e-learning in organisations and takes a peek into the future of e-learning."--Book jacket.
