Evaluating e-Learning by Rob Phillips,Carmel McNaught,Gregor Kennedy Pdf
How can novice e-learning researchers and postgraduate learners develop rigorous plans to study the effectiveness of technology-enhanced learning environments? How can practitioners gather and portray evidence of the impact of e-learning? How can the average educator who teaches online, without experience in evaluating emerging technologies, build on what is successful and modify what is not? By unpacking the e-learning lifecycle and focusing on learning, not technology, Evaluating e-Learning attempts to resolve some of the complexity inherent in evaluating the effectiveness of e-learning. The book presents practical advice in the form of an evaluation framework and a scaffolded approach to an e-learning research study, using divide-and-conquer techniques to reduce complexity in both design and delivery. It adapts and builds on familiar research methodology to offer a robust and accessible approach that can ensure effective evaluation of a wide range of innovative initiatives, including those covered in other books in the Connecting with e-Learning series. Readers will find this jargon-free guide is a must-have resource that provides the proper tools for evaluating e-learning practices with ease.

Active learning is a model of educational instruction that allows learners to be responsible for developing problem solving skills. Technology can enhance active learning strategies by fully engaging students in the learning process. While this type of active learning allows learners to work at their own pace in order to understand the material presented, they can also apply it to the activity at hand to assess their baseline understanding. Most of what we need to know about interactivity in an e-learning environment can be derived from careful consideration of how a student and a teacher interact in a face-face setting. The first chapter presents a review of interactivity in the online medium with a focus on the student point of view. Chapter two presents situated learning episodes with a focus on natural hazards that may strongly affect lives of many people around the world while being highly underestimated by formal education. Chapter three describes the development and implementation of simulation software activities to facilitate learning in a doctor of pharmacy program critical care pharmacotherapy elective course. Chapter four examines technology and learning processing in childhood. The final chapter proposes a learning strategy -- peer assessment by questions and answers -- to enhance the effectiveness of interactive learning in the flipped classroom.
Evaluation of the distance learning systems in Turkey by Dr. Yakup Çelikbilek Pdf
Education is one of the most important complement for people from the beginning of humanity. With the globalizing and fasten world, Distance Learning has gain an increasing importance. Especially, information technologies increase the spread and importance of the distance learning systems. Institutions and universities have started using distance learning systems day by day to reach the potential students from all over the world. Distance learning systems also decrease the costs of both institutions and students with effective learning way. Distance learning systems principally have four main supplements; cost, technology, education and distance learning related supplements. Due to its structure, the most important supplement of distance learning systems is technology–based components which contains various and complicated details. Most of these details looks totally technical but they are more important actually, because of their implementation to education, and connection with the people using the system. The main motivation of this book is to find out the most important components of distance learning systems in Turkey and prioritize them to lead the distance learning systems more effective and better, both for the students and for the investors. knowledge Within the current literature, none of the studies analyzed all components and prioritize them for both Turkey and in general, especially, educational components and technological components together. With the help of the advanced internet and digital technology, this is a challenging subject for the distance learning systems in today’s world. Educational institutions cannot promote their distance learning programs only with their instructors or course contents anymore like decades ago when the technology is much worse than now. Classical promotion materials do not take attention of the new generation who are digital natives. Because, they have already known how to access something or use technology, at least more than digital immigrants. Especially with the accessible technology and accessible reputed education contents with this technology all around the world, we should observe the importance of education and distance learning components together with technology components. In today’s World, if students want to access a distance learning system, they need only a computer and an internet access, excluding course cost. So, students can access to any distance learning system from all around the world easily. This situation is also valid for distance learning institutions. Similarly, this is valid for distance learning institutions. They can hire anybody from all around the world without bringing them to the institution with a perfect information technologies infrastructure. Investors of distance learning systems and institutions in Turkey should invest in and improve distance learning systems according to the importance of all components of distance learning systems together to get ahead of the world.
The Effect of Interactivity in e-Learning Systems by Chris Evans,Luis Palacios Pdf
This book is based on research conducted to investigate whether interactivity yields a learning effect when used appropriately in e-Learning Systems, and whether this effect enhances learning. There is no doubt interactivity is vital in learning. This statement is emphasized to such an extent that it is claimed that students with higher levels of interaction will obtain more positive and higher levels of achievement. However, little scientific evidence can be found to support this relationship. The importance of this book is based on the fact that it provides evidence of the impact of interactivity on e-Learning Systems considering the three main agents of an educational activity: the learner, the teacher and the environment. In addition, the concept of feedback as a key element in any interactive mechanism for enhancing learning is well documented in several studies throughout this book. Three empirical studies are presented that investigated interactivity within the educational triangle. These three studies were conducted based on the framework of positivism and action research paradigms. The first study, entitled “Interactive Pedagogical Feedback”, gathers evidence for how highly interactive pedagogically designed formative feedback enhances students’ memory and understanding. The second study, entitled “Interactive Audio Feedback”, examines whether the speed enhancements of oral feedback improve the conditions for the production of the lecturer’s feedback and the quality of the feedback delivered to the students. The final study, “Interactive Texting Feedback”, takes a pedagogical approach to provide formative feedback to a student audience using mobile text messages, and determines whether Interactive Texting Feedback enhances the learning experience within the e-Learning environment. The information contained in the book is useful for academics and institutions to improve their teaching and the efficiency of their learning delivery mechanisms, and will guide the design of instructional content. It will also be of utility to other researchers and those in roles that require an understanding of interactivity.
