E-Learning Tools Development and Implementation

E-learning (or sometimes Electronic Learning or eLearning) is a term which is commonly used, but does not have a common definition. Most frequently it seems to be used for web-based distance education, with no face-to-face interaction.

Online learning has the potential to bring new opportunities to higher education. More and more students are now studying part-time, or are unable to attend every lecture because of conflicting demands on their time. It is no longer sufficient to offer only face-to-face eaching and assessment, and without online facilities, the problems of student retention and decreasing success rates would be exacerbated,” tated Stuart Hirst, Teacher Fellow, Leeds Metropolitan University. “Additionally, with appropriate support from instructional technologists  and with pedagogic awareness, e-learning can offer lecturers a complementary teaching tool that offers greater creativity for their course content.

E-learning is not going to be a short-lived phenomenon and we have witnessed a positive response from students and staff to the introduction of online learning at Leeds Metropolitan. UK universities are discovering that it must be integrated into their vision for it to have any chance of success.
