There are probably as many types of e-learning as there are types of classroom learning. E-learning can be instructor led, facilitated, or learner led. It can be synchronous or asynchronous. Class size can range from a single learner to thousands. E-learning can be pure or blended. The blend can mix classroom learning, books, online documents, and many different types of e-learning. E-learning can stand alone or can be embedded into an online document, the user-interface for a computer program, or into a business process.
This presentation will help you decide what type of e-learning is right for your purposes. It will show you how to impose design constraints, pick a blend of learning events, and consider how e-learning should be embedded into the learner’s world.
