About this book

E-Learning is now an essential component of education. Globalization, the proliferation of information available on the Internet and the importance of knowledge-based economies have added a whole new dimension to teaching and learning. As more tutors, students and trainees, and institutions adopt online learning there is a need for resources that will examine and inform this field. Using examples from around the world, the authors of e-Learning: Concepts and Practices provide an in-depth examination of past, present and future e-Learning approaches, and explore the implications of applying e-Learning in practice. Topics include: educational evolution, enriching the learning experience, learner empowerment, design concepts and considerations, creation of e-communities, communal constructivism. - Publisher.
