E-LEARNING
E-LEARNING
has been a catchy word to many educators and trainers especially in the
developing countries. To some people, e-learning is a ‘magic’ word that may
give some positive meanings or great values to them and/or their organization.
Yet, the definition and scope of e-learning is relative. To some people,
e-learning is nothing more than the use of electronic devices for teaching and learning.
Others look at e-learning as a new way of educating and training their staff
and customers, including students and trainees, using various electronic
gadgets. Supyan (2008) offers an operational definition and conceptual
definition for e-learning.
According
to him, conceptually, e-learning means a form
of learning whereby learning process takes place in an
environment which employs electronic technology, in network-based (local
area network, LAN and wide area network, WAN) and non-networked, i.e.
independent of network such as self-directed learning materials in forms
of CD, DVD, MP3 or MP4 players.
