Impact Of Learning Styles On E-Learning Environment: An Empirical Study, Shakeel Iqbal Jan 2013

Impact Of Learning Styles On E-Learning Environment: An Empirical Study, Shakeel Iqbal

Shakeel Iqbal

E-learning is a popular medium of imparting knowledge during this age of World Wide Web (www). A large number of educational institutions have adopted this medium to educate students globally. Some students find this medium very exciting and useful while others are not very comfortable with it. There is a need to identify the characteristics of students who are comfortable with this medium and those who are not. In this study, an attempt is made to match students learning style with their attitude towards e-learning.

The human computer interaction issues associated with the creation of personalized role playing simulations are discussed in this paper. This paper is aimed at those who are interested in building authoring applications which enable educators to build role playing simulated e-learning resources to use with their students. One of the main issues which have come to our attention is that many learning designers and educators do not understand what exactly it is we are trying to achieve by creating personalized role playing simulations. Also, how to gauge the pedagogic merits which can be achieved by using these e-learning resources. Potential …

The JISC eLIDA CAMEL Project commenced in May, 2006, as one of the national UK Design for Learning projects funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC). The eLIDA CAMEL brought together the pedagogic e-learning practice of the eLISA study skills e-learning project and the work done by the CAMEL JISC infoNet and ALT communities of practice project funded by HEFCE's Leadership, Governance and Management Fund (LGMF).


Harnessing Innovative Technologies In Higher Education, Kathleen P. King, Joan K. Griggs Jan 2006

Harnessing Innovative Technologies In Higher Education, Kathleen P. King, Joan K. Griggs

Kathleen P King

This publication is an attempt to capture the evolution of distributed higher education over the last decade by tracing the applications of new technologies funded by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). As FIPSE surveyed the current state of distance/distributed education, there existed an opportunity to help post econdary education make the transition to this new generation of distance education made possible by the explosive growth of the Internet and other new technologies. These technologies created the potential for students to access learning that was interactive, customized, and self-paced; to more easily merge lifelong learning with the …
