What is eLearning?

Philosophy of eLearning - Section I 

What is eLearning?  Basically, elearning is the ability to take courses with the use of technology.  However, elearning can be so much more!  It is a chance to collaborate with your peers to learn more about various subjects.  It is an opportunity to hone your skills that you will need to succeed in life.  It is the way of the future for education.

When a student takes an online course, they have the opportunity to learn so much more than they do in a traditional classroom.  By learning online, the students are already connected to the World Wide Web - a place of vast information.  Students can lead their education in any direction that interests them.  Plus, with elearning, the teacher will help the students to learn more about different tools that are available to them at the click of the mouse. 

Students will get a chance to interact with people from around the world to complete assignments.  Gaining skills in time-management and self-motivation are also great benefits to elearning.  Talk about going beyond textbooks!
