Why is eLearning important?
The aim of education is to enable individuals to continue their education. The object and reward for learning is continued capacity for growth. (Dewey, 1916) Democracy and Education
Online learning offers diverse learners and participants access to new skills or educational opportunities. Meaningful online learning promotes synthesis of content, student experiences, and interactive collaboration among students and instructors. The online class as virtual community is dynamic and invites learners to engage with each other and the content in new ways. In order to create and deliver high quality learning experiences online, new instructional approaches and course design are needed.
Areas of online learning where we focus efforts:
- Online curriculum design and course development;
- Collaborative eLearning, including the Taxonomy of Collaborative eLearning .
