TYPES
OF E-LEARNING , OFFLINE LEARNING
E-LEARNING is the delivery of learning, training or education
program by electronic means E-learning involves
the ise of computers or electronic device [e.g. : a mobile phone] in
some way to provide training, educational or learning material.
E-learning
is two types
1, Synchronous training
2, Asynchronous training
Synchronous means “at the same time”
involves interaction of participants with an instructor via the web in real
time. For example- Virtual class rooms [VCRS] that are nothing else but real
classrooms online. Participants interact with each other and instructors
through instant messaging, chat, audio and video conferencing etc. and what’s
more all the sessions can be recorded and played back. Synchronous benefits are
ability to log or track learning activities. It is continuous monitoring and
correction is possible. It s possibilities of global connectivity and collaboration
opportunities among learners. Its
ability to personalize the training for each learner.
Asynchronous means “not at the same
time” allows the participants to complete the WBT[web based training] at their
on pace, without live interaction with the instructor. Basically it’s
information that is accessible on a self –basis 24/7 the advantage is that this
kind of E-learning.
Offers the learners the
information they need whenever they need it. It also has interaction amongst
participants through message. Boards, bulletin boards ,and discussion forums.
These includes computer based training modules on CD ROM’s , web based training
accessed through internet [WBTS] or through well written articles and other
write UPS . Asynchronous’s advantages are available “just in time” for instant
learning and reference. It is flexibility to access from any where at any time.
It ability to simultaneous reach an unlimited number of employees. It is
uniformity of content and one time cost of production.
A new form of learning known as blended
learning is emerging . As the name suggests it is an amalgamation
of synchronous and asynchronous learning
methods using both online training through virtual classrooms
and also giving CD’s and study materials for self study is now being increasing
preferred over any single type of training.
OFFLINE LEARNING
Offline
learning is not under the control of a central computer, as in a manufacturing
process or experiment. It is not connected to a computer or computer network.
Sum
total offline learning expands the learning experience to remote or mobile
users that are not connected to a network via multiple devices such as laptops,
kiosks, and handhelds.
