    E-learning
    E-Learning is learning utilizing electronic technologies to access
    educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom. In most
    cases, it refers to a course, program or degree delivered completely
    online.
    Advantages of E-Learning
    Class work can be scheduled around personal and professional work,
    resulting in flexible learning.
    Reduces travel cost and time to and from school
    Learners may have the option to select learning materials that meets their
    level of knowledge and interest
    Learners can study wherever they have access to a computer and Internet
    Self-paced learning modules allow learners to work at their own pace
    Flexibility to join discussions in the bulletin board threaded discussion
    areas at any hour, or visit with classmates and instructors remotely in chat
    rooms
    Different learning styles are addressed and facilitation of learning occurs
    through varied activities
    Development of computer and Internet skills that are transferable to other
    facets of learners lives
    Successfully completing online or computer-based courses builds selfknowledge and self-confidence and encourages students to take
    responsibility for their learning

    Disadvantages
    Unmotivated learners or those with poor study habits may fall behind

    Lack of familiar structure and routine may take getting used to


    Students may feel isolated or miss social interaction thus the need to
    understanding different learning styles and individual learner needs.
    Instructor may not always be available on demand
    Slow or unreliable Internet connections can be frustrating
    Managing learning software can involve a learning curve

    Some courses such as traditional hands-on courses can be difficult to


    simulate

    Web-based learning
    Web-based learning is one way to learn, using web-based technologies or tools
    in a learning process. In other words, learner uses mainly computers to interact
    with the teacher, other students and learning material. Web-based learning
    consists of technology that supports traditional classroom training and online
    learning environments. "Pure" web-based courses are wholly based on computer
    and online possibilities. In this case all the communication and learning
    activities are done online. On the other hand, web-based courses may have some
    face-to-face sessions besides the distant learning tasks. In this case they are
    called blended courses as they blend web-based activities with face-to-face
    activities.
    Web-based learning can be also formal or informal.
    Formal web-based learning is purposed and learning activities are
    organised by teachers.
    Informal learning takes place while you are searching material from the
    Internet. It is self-paced, depending on your goals and ambition to learn.
    Electronic journals
    Electronic journals also known as e journals, and electronic serials, are
    scholarly journals or intellectual magazines that can be accessed

    via electronic transmission. In practice, this means that they are usually
    published on the Web.

    Advantages of Electronic Journals,


    1. You can search the contents pages and/or the full text of journals to find
    articles on a certain subject.
    2. You can read journal articles on your desktop; you don't have to be in the
    Library.
    3. You can e-mail articles to yourself or download them for printing.
    4. The article that you want to read will always be available, even when the
    Library is closed.
    5. Hypertext links allow you to move to different sections within individual
    journals or articles and can link you to related resources on the Internet.
    6. Journals can include more images and audio-visual material.
    7. Journals can be interactive - you can e-mail the author or editor with your
    comments.
    Podcasting
    A podcast is a media file (such as audio or video files) that is downloadable
    from the Internet. These can then be played back on a computer or be copied to
    and played by portable audio/video player (e.g. iPod). Video podcasts are also
    known as "vodcasts."
    Definition
    Podcasting is the preparation and distribution of audio files using RSS to the
    computers of subscribed users. These files may then be uploaded to digital
    music or multimedia players like the iPod. A podcast can be easily created from
    a digital audio file. The podcaster first saves the file as an MP3 and then
    uploads it to the Web site of a service provider. The MP3 file gets its own URL,
    which is inserted into an RSS XML document as an enclosure within an
    XML tag.
    Once a podcast has been created, it can be registered with content
    aggregators, such as podcasting.net or ipodder.org, for inclusion in
    podcast directories. People can browse through the categories or
    subscribe to specific podcast RSS feeds which will download to their

    audio players automatically when they next connect. Although podcasts


    are generally audio files created for digital music players, the same
    technology can be used to prepare and transmit images, text, and video to
    any capable device.
    Podcasting has been likened to TiVo because it allows users to
    listen to their selected podcasts whenever they like, similarly to the way
    time-shifting lets viewers watch television programs when it suits them.
    Furthermore, because of the portability of the player devices, users can
    listen to audio files from the Internet as they go about their daily activities
    - for example, listening to a news blog entry while at the gym,
    commuting, or just walking around.
    Content producers are increasingly turning to podcasting as an
    inexpensive and user-friendly new distribution channel that has the
    potential to reach a large audience. Not surprisingly, musicians and
    bloggers are prevalent among the early adopters, but mainstream media
    organizations, including ZDNet and National Public Radio (NPR), are
    beginning to venture into podcasting as well.
    Advantages of podcasting
    1. The automatic subscription feature of podcasts is a key advantage in
    ensuring that subscribers receive the latest files without having to go to
    each site that hosts media files check to see if there have been updates.
    This is especially helpful when users wish to keep up with multiple
    sources. e.g. (1) students do not have to check each of their course
    websites to see if there are any new podcast files; instead, using an
    aggregator, all podcasts from all classes will automatically be "delivered"
    to their computers. (2) users can keep up to date with latest podcasts from
    news and professional organizations.
    2. Flexible learning opportunities: can listen/watch any time.
    3. Do not have to use computer for playback --> can review audio files
    while driving, walking, biking etc.

    4. Valuable to students to review classes. This is especially an advantage for


    students who may have had difficulty understanding what was said during
    the "live" class (e.g. speakers of other languages, students with
    disabilities). If transcripts of the podcasts are also made available,
    students can read along and listen at the same time (note: accessibility
    issue: transcripts must be provided to students with special needs who are
    unable to listen to the audio files).
    5. Students learn through more than one modality (listen to audio
    files/watch video on content as well as read course materials)
    6. Audio files can easily & inexpensively be created & uploaded to course
    website/blog/wiki.
    7. Greatly increases access to classes, lectures, talks (educational,
    professional and personal) by making these available for download to
    people who could not attend the session in person (this is especially an
    advantage to college students who miss lectures).

    Disadvantages of podcasting
    1. Transcripts must be made of files to ensure accessibility (time consuming
    & costly)
    2. Large file size (especially of video files) requires broadband connection,
    thus making these files difficult (or even impossible) for users to access if
    they have slow dial-up connection.
    3.

    Creators need to ensure that file format is appropriate for all mp3 players
    (not just on iPods).
