This guide summarizes current research and commentary on e-learning, examining the key issues facing organizations exploring e-learning for employee development. The guide contains six sections. The first section provides an introduction to the issue of e-learning and a summary of the issues discussed in the remainder of the guide. Section 2 summarizes the various dimensions and descriptions of e-learning, concluding with a definition of e-learning as "the delivery and administration of learning opportunities and support via computer, networked and web-based technology to help individual performance and development." Sections 3 and 4 describe potential benefits and drawbacks of e-learning. Benefits include that e-learning is timely, accessible, learner-centered, cost effective, up-to-date, quick, retainable, risk-free, consistent, interactive and collaborative, easy to track, and that it increases information technology skills. Drawbacks include that e-learning can be technology-dependent, incompatible, unsuitable for some types of training, unsuitable for some types of learners, heavily reliant on self-discipline, less interactive than one would think, initially expensive, still dependent on human support, and difficult to support with content. Section 5 discusses key issues to consider when developing e-learning, including how best to blend new e-learning technologies with traditional classroom approaches to training; whether to buy new off-the-shelf materials, develop content externally or in-house; how best to provide learner support; how trainers will adapt; and how to tell whether the strategy is working. The final section concludes with a summary of the issues and potential of e-learning. The guide includes a glossary of 13 terms and a resource guide listing 64 reports and articles, 7 websites, and 8 magazines and journals. (KC)

"Informed by an intimate knowledge of a social literacies perspective, this book is full of profound insights and unexpected connections. Its scholarly, clear-eyed analysis of the role of new media in higher education sets the agenda for e-learning research in the twenty-first century" Ilana Snyder, Monash University "This book offers a radical rethinking of e-learning … The authors challenge teachers, course developers, and policy makers to see e-learning environments as textual practices, rooted deeply in the social and intellectual life of academic disciplines. This approach holds great promise for moving e-learning past its focus on technology and 'the learner' toward vital engagement with fields of inquiry through texts." Professor David Russell, Iowa State University Challenging e-learning in the University takes a new approach to the growing field of e-learning in higher education. In it, the authors argue that in order to develop e-learning in the university we need to understand the texts and practices that are involved in learning and teaching using online and web-based technologies. The book develops an approach which draws together social and cultural approaches to literacies, learning and technologies, illustrating these in practice through the exploration of case studies. It is key reading for educational developers who are concerned with the promises offered, but rarely delivered, with each new iteration of learning with technologies. It will also be of interest to literacies researchers and to HE policy makers and managers who wish to understand the contexts of e-learning.

Traditional, on-line e-learning theories are contextually driven and influenced largely by learning management systems (LMS) through the use of mere technology. The whole idea of e-learning was to allow a student to have a high degree of learner self-direction and personalisation within the learning process. The rapid development of technologies within the field of "E-learning and Web 2.0" is allowing for new educational strategies to support self-regulated learning in higher education contexts through the use of personal learning environments (PLE) and Cloud to provide a more tailored learning experience. The first chapter of this book explores the communications and creativity formats that web 2.0 social media can offer students within the higher education sector for supporting learning opportunities by exploring different types of learning theories and how to integrate Web Based Platform technologies into the delivery and what supporting mechanising will be required while exploring E-learning in the Cloud. Chapter two describes the practice and evaluation of an e-learning training program for vegetable growers, and focuses on the effects of periodic learning support through the sharing of learning progress reports in the e-learning program. Chapter three explores the good practice of Estonian e-learning community to evaluate and assesses the quality of e-learning courses. Chapter four verifies that some e-learning challenges are unique to the e-environment, and are specific to the learner's expectations, experiences, satisfaction, and performance. Chapter five describes how to develop remote real-time signals monitoring mechanism via Internet with the cloud using a case study. Chapter six reviews the challenges for education and training in non-surgical oncology, the e-learning resources that are currently available and compares them against best practice guidance on technology enhanced learning. Chapter seven studies how to develop learning systems to support English vocabulary learning by analysing learning log data and automatically detecting personalised weak points on listening comprehension. The last chapter explores the significance of correlates of academic dishonesty in e-learning in relation to variables such as sex, student status, academic class status, and academic success in higher education in the United States.

How can we design networked e-learning courses to ensure students participate in them and engage in quality learning outcomes? What happens in an e-learning course that is designed to foster group work and a sense of ‘community’? How can we research e-learning practice in ways that will enhance the processes of learning and teaching? This book outlines approaches to networked e-learning course design that are underpinned by a belief that students learn best in these contexts when they are organised in groups and communities. As such, the book is one of the first to provide a detailed analysis of what goes on in e-learning groups and communities. But how do students react to working in e-learning groups and communities? What determines their willingness to adopt new forms of learning in order to participate in these new courses? What actually happens in an e-learning community, and what impact does this have on students and tutors? This book examines these key questions through a variety of research approaches aimed at exploring the experience of e-learners as they participate in successful e-groups and communities. It also offers ways in which learning outcomes may be achieved in these communities and outlines the specific skills that students would develop through e-learning. E-learning Groups and Communities is essential reading for teachers, trainers, managers, researchers and students involved in e-learning courses as well as people interested in improving the quality of the learning experience.
