Reflexions about E-learning

what is E-learning?

E-learning can be defined as:
"The delivery of a learning, training or education program by electronic means. E-learning involves the use of a computer or electronic device (e.g. a mobile phone) in some way to provide training, educational or learning material. (Derek Stockley 2003)

E-learning can involve a greater variety of equipment than online training or education, for as the name implies, "online" involves using the Internet or an Intranet. CD-ROM and DVD can be used to provide learning materials.

Distance education provided the base for e-learning's development. E-learning can be "on demand". It overcomes timing, attendance and travel difficulties."

What do I think about the E-learning?

E-learning or virtual learning is a great means of education nowadays. In fact, it "represents a new era of distance education" (Garrison 1997) that overwhelmes al the teachers especially those who have a great knowledge about using ICT in teaching.
To my mind this educational tool seems to be of a great efect especially for those students who cannot make it to the classrooms. Indeed, they can have an easy access to these on line courses and therefore will be able to learn and benefit from the courses.

How do I consider "E-evaluation"?

E-evaluation means evaluation on line. I think that this type of evaluation is not well defined and not well determined by this time. This is clearly seen when the ministery of education doesn't take into consideration the degrees and diploma taken via NET. It stays a matter of doubt how to get these degrees and who is doing these tests , etc.
