Editor's Notes
- For 500 years, most education and training has been dependent on the publishing or broadcast model where knowledge is gathered and distributed to the masses via books and periodicals. E-learning has allowed a new model of learning to enhance and replace to an extent the publishing model. E-learning is not just a change, modification or advancement in technology. It is the redefining of how we transmit knowledge, skills and values to the learner. (Horton, William. E-Learning by Design, Pfeiffer, p. 577.)
- Today’s organizations are using a mix of deliver media or blended learning (accounts for over 16% of all training . Key to success in blending media is using each medium for delivery in the way that maximizes the utilization its learning features. Clark, R.C., Kwinn, A. (2007), Evidence-based guidelines for synchronous e-learning, the new virtual classroom, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., p. 14-15.
- Good visual design should be subtle, “solving problems and not drawing attention.” Successful visual design is seamless; it goes unnoticed by the learner. Unsuccessful visual design is an impediment to learning. It results in the learner having difficulty navigating the course and unable to find critical course material. (Horton, William, E-Learning By Design, p. 495).
- The virtual classroom should be used for both its pragmatic and instructional reasons for its engagement and learning features. (Clark, R.C., Kwinn, A. (2007), Evidence-based guidelines for synchronous e-learning, the new virtual classroom, John Wiley & Sons, Inc. P. 15
