Search for e-learning "concept and its benefits and characteristics


Educators are constantly looking for the best ways and means to provide an interactive learning environment to attract the attention of students and encourage them to exchange views and experiences . The information technology represented in the computer , the Internet and Maalhak them of multimedia of the most successful means to provide these educational environment rich , where you can work in collaborative projects between different schools , and students can develop their knowledge of subjects important to them through contact with colleagues and experts have the same concerns. It is the responsibility of the students to search for information and formulation , which develops thinking skills . The online communication develop writing skills and English language skills , where the Internet provides students and teachers alike texts written in English in a variety of subjects and different levels. As for the teachers , the connection to the global network enables the teacher to access the expertise and experience of learning are difficult to access in other ways. The power of the Internet lies in its ability to link people across huge distances and between disparate sources of Informatics , The use of this technology increases the opportunities for education and stretching out to and beyond the scope of the school , and this Maaraf under the name of e-learning , which is the most important features of the school of the future .

          Yes, I've recently undergone extensive changes to the field of education . And began the labor market , through its needs for new skills and qualifications imposed orientations and competencies updated to meet the needs of the new economy . Therefore, the curricula are subject to re-examination of the other to keep pace with modern requirements and available technologies , such as e-learning and direct instruction , which depends on the Internet. But the field of e-Learning and solutions will not be successful if lacked the key factors of the elements available in the traditional education current , this latter achieves a lot of tasks , indirectly or invisible to the passerby who believes that Internet technology will turn all scales without access to , but the educational process in deep . Where is a time for schools and students attending mass is important instills valuable educational indirectly and reinforces the importance of working together as a team.Vary the terms of reference institutions, e-learning among a variety of services , such as obtaining a master's degree directly online, or certification of technical programmers and specialists in the field of Information Technology and other excellent features , where you turn the necessary procedures and provide the criteria required to put programs recognized for study remote .According to some female students and specialized research , found that 48% of colleges and traditional universities had raised their curricula directly on the Internet in 1998 , while the proportion rose to 70% in 2000 , and in return there universities do not offer their services and curricula only via the Internet such as the University of Engel Wood Englewood and Colo Colo and KabilaIt is expected to achieve industry e-learning online direct significant growth from 6.3 billion dollars in 2002 to more than 23 billion dollars in the year 2004, as shown by studies conducted by the group IDC , a market research , basing this on the great development in the sector e-business and the increasing demand for professionals and specialists. For its part, each of Oracle, SAP and other companies producing programs to join this important sector and design products suitable to him .Problem of the study ?

          Pass educational institutions at the present time in the stage of a radical transformation due to economic pressures and huge costs on the one hand and to the business world on the other hand , the big difference between the students who choose to attend schools or distance learning is also a factor in this transformation, in spite of all of this is still colleges and schools attract numbers of students to Madrjadtha to receive education.

          I went institutions of higher education, especially with increasing repeated for the students to use the Internet to deliver courses to students in remote locations . And also encouraged the delivery of courses to students on the campus of the institution as well. Saw where some educational institutions that this method and a way to attract students who are not able to come to the university buildings , while for the other institutions as a way to meet the needs of a new quality of students.

          Yes, I've felt education institutions - at the moment - economic pressures so tended to control costs , improve quality , focus directly on the needs of the customer and to respond to competitive pressures , where I found that information technology IT Information Technology has the ability to solve most of these problems , it can be changed the role of the student and the college also , Ftisr and learner-centered , and save money through the process of sophistication to work , and focus more on the content of the curriculum.

          With the increasing use of modern technologies , accept all of the colleges and students alike the changes that have occurred in the education environment . Valorteurat and degrees are becoming available on the Internet , was the establishment of schools, universities, libraries, virtual , Fbasttaah student submission and registration, go to college , buy references , books and attending lectures of non- registration of any visit to a virtual university buildings , number of disciplines and educational programs have been developed so as to be the interaction between them and the students this type is called education with the help of the computer, some of the other programs more interactive as it allows students to send their views and comments for yards discussion through sites on the Internet , and this type is called debate asynchronous Valmchark in this type read and comment on the subject under discussion, when given the chance so in his spare time , there is another kind of education is the education or the immediate and simultaneous discussion which uses Messaging or IM , there are participants can interact and debate with each other and at one time , and real . Regardless of the method used for education , shift must be from the traditional classroom to classroom across cyberspace Cyperspace. This is the future of education , a so-called e-learning , and therefore, this study is trying to answer the following question :What the concept of e-learning ?

  Can ask this question of the following questions:

          Q 1 : What is the concept of e-learning ?

          Q 2 : What are the characteristics of e- education in the community ?

          Q 3 : What are the benefits of e-learning ?

          Q 4 : What barriers to e-learning ?

Importance of the study :This study aims to find out the concept of e-learning as well as the characteristics of the society in the age of cyberspace and then addressing the benefits of e-learning ?

The limits of the study:Because the elements of e-learning too many Therefore, this study will be limited to answering the following questions without referring to the design standards of e-learning or future or its properties or e-learning curriculum .First, the concept of e-learningE-learning is a method of teaching by using the communication mechanisms of modern computers , networks and the Sa?th multiple of sound and image , graphics , and search mechanisms , and electronic libraries , as well as web portals , whether remote or in the classroom is important is intended to use the technology of all kinds in the delivery of information to the learner shortest time and with less effort and greater utility.

          And distance learning are part derived from the study of electronic In both cases , the learner receives information from a place far away from the teacher ( source of information ) , and when we talk about the study of e do not necessarily have to talk about education Messaging synchronous (online learning), but may be e-learning is synchronously. Education is the default : It is useful to learn from remote locations is not bounded by time or place of the Internet and technology .Direct e-learning :


            The term e-learning direct , style and learning techniques based on the Internet to connect and exchange lessons and topics of research between the learner and the teacher , and the e-learning concept enters a lot of techniques and styles, has witnessed the eighties adoption of CD-ROM's for education but the drawback was clear a lack of feature interaction between Article the teacher and the learner or the receiver , and then came the rise of the Internet as a justification for the adoption of e-learning directly on the Internet, so as to simulate the effectiveness of teaching methods realism , come touches and humanitarian aspects through direct interaction between the parties to the educational process and must distinguish completely between teaching techniques and just contact by e-mail , for example , and we will discuss corporate training and education in schools and universities to discern the effectiveness of this new method , which his campaign Internet to us.Realism in Education :
            The lack of the realms of realism in the process of e-learning direct the main disadvantages of this method of education that needs , in some cases for the human touch between the learner and the teacher , and singled here talking categories that futile where e-learning direct and now we find that it targets high school students mainly then university students and other professions such as doctors and engineers any more or less institutional training received by workers and technicians in the institutions and large companies of different fields .
            There are educational materials suitable for e-learning direct and verify the effectiveness of large , for example, I can explain to you at length about the phenomenon of natural science , but for a school trip or go to the lab and watch this phenomenon directly to sing all the effort that may be we are making in the e-learning system direct to explain this phenomenon , ie, that the substance of Education direct E-mail must be suitable to him and appropriate to his style , so we can say with confidence that it can adopt e-training direct successful Kemtemm the teaching methods of educational infrastructure and to develop the resources available for students to be trained on the use of technology to improve learning and finding schools more flexibility and increased interaction parents of students in the educational process in addition to the increase in the arrival of the students and provide them with technical and expand professional development opportunities for teachers and technology can enhance the capabilities of students, teachers and educators .

            Some educators and experts to direct e-learning or education , depending on the computer will deliver a resistance hinder its success if it would compromise the educational process current , or threaten the existing parties because it sometimes depends on radical solutions in its implementation.

E-learning -based computer :
        

         Still e-learning -based computer CBT Computer-Based Training approach synonymous with basic education and traditional can be adopted in a complementary teaching methods usual and in general we adopt the techniques and methods of many within the education plan and a comprehensive training based on a set of methods and techniques , for example, if it was difficult to broadcast video educational online so be submitted on CDs or video tapes VHS as long as it contributes to raising the quality and level of training, education and prevents bottlenecks wave amplitude on the network and requires e-learning hand essential to justify its adoption and invest in a vision window to commit to him long-term in order to avoid obstacles and difficulties in information technology and the resistance and aversion educated him , I have in mind here the words of one of my professors , one of the veteran in education, educational guidance , where he told me recently that he was estranged from the computer and talk about the large number of what he heard from the exaggerations around that mind -mail smartphone that will control the world, but he realized that the computer is nothing more than a stupid and just a machine depends intelligence limited to the user and his proficiency in the creation of intelligent programs and effective make it user benefit , rather than to benefit is to consume his time and effort in vain lies in saying that the axis of the success of e-learning , which depends on the development and selection of the education system e- appropriate in terms of meeting the requirements of Education Kalthaddat continued to keep abreast of developments and taking into account the standards and controls in the education system chosen to ensure that the level of development of the learner and achieve the goals of education and educational as information technology is not a goal or an end in itself but rather a means to connect the knowledge and purposes known of teaching and education , including making the learner ready to meet the requirements of practical life in all its facets , which has come to rely more or less on information technology and the rapidly changing nature .Second, the characteristics of education in the information society ?

          Cyberspace is the concept of the space where words and human relationships , data , and power show by people who use computer technology as an intermediary for communication , and the virtual communities : they are cultural groups arise at the confluence of a group of people to each other in cyberspace clearly and simply , in the past, the concepts of discrimination or differentiation membership is one of the factors relevant to the development of communities , People who are engaged in hobbies certain make up communities in order to continue their hobbies that differentiate them from the rest of the communities , as well as the communities are characterized communities generally characterized on the basis of where the city is small or village and its environs constitute the society and so on. With the advent of electronic communication and virtual reality , it became difficult to determine what is meant by community , communities wove different types and characteristics of the variety , so it was entering into the world of virtual communities and the ability to remote training requires a completely different operations of difficulty accomplished by some people . Range that is used by the persons computer as an intermediary for communication in order to teach new people to re- education or their hobbies or attract them and attach them to groups or sects and communities in which they work , those are the key issues to build a society in Computer in which a mediator , and therefore, some researchers gave another term to the individual in virtual community , a personal electronic ( when the person is working on the computer with other people ) . In this episode we will address the most important artistic techniques that must be considered when training in a virtual community .Terms of education in the community space :

          1 the ability to continue internal dialogue in order to prepare answers.

          2 Create a form of privacy language space of the person from the place of its connection as well as the establishment of an internal sense of privacy has .

          3 the ability to search in the emotional threads in text format .

          4 The ability to create an image of an intellectual colleague for contrast in the communication process .

          5 the ability to create a sense of immediate attendance during the connection process .



          If the environment is electronic allows the trainee emergence of his electronic , people autistic are more suitable for teaching in virtual environments , it is something encouraging for people autistic that take plenty of time to think about the subject matter before you answer it , but for people who are open or social interaction in their environment becomes difficult but not impossible , because of their interaction have their presence among the others , so choosing the best education is education in an atmosphere alive and this gives them the ability to better performance and then get the best results , while the autistic Vanjazhm be the best in the tranquil atmosphere or virtual environments so they do not find it difficult to join virtual environments to reverse social people who want to always be in a bustling social environments .

The important question is whether societies can build sets for immediate education incomplete , however, Taatkabl groups and face- to-face ?

          Despite the importance of meeting face- to-face in some respects scientific , but this meeting is inappropriate to change the configuration of groups, instant ongoing , it is possible to find a train without this type of connection . Through discussion boards and chat rooms and other where he will meet the participants and deliver their ideas , opinions and suggestions and comments about the goals , ethics , obstacles , communication styles , these are the principles in the communities in which Taatkabl face- to-face and this thing is happening in e-communities .



          The basic steps that must be taken into account when education in virtual communities :1 clear definition of the objectives of the group.2 Create a special location for the group.3 set effective leader of the group.4 define the principles and behavior .5 to allow the organization of the roles of the members.6 and allow the facility to sub-groups .7 to allow members to resolve their disputes .Work these steps may enhance communication and encourage central members.

Conflict in virtual communities :

          Characterized the transformations that have taken place in communities large speed , which led to the difficulty of identifying label society , societies today are formed around issues of identity and common principles and not on the basis of geographical location . In this society can be defined as an integrated unit continuously arise at the confluence of a number of people in shared interests. And when you meet people around common goals in order to work on the delivery and development of the principles of behavioral , and conflicts occur between members during the discussion space on the topics to achieve those goals , and thus groups must continue to talk non-stop in order to accomplish tasks as a team. When you try to avoid conflicts that could lead to the disintegration of the group, conflicts essential stage which must work in order to reach the stage of completion , and many studies have proven that working in groups is similar to instant perfectly with groups working face- to-face .

          Possible occurrence of conflicts in electronic communities more traditional societies , due to the absence of interlocutors face to face and not being able to interact verbally , which may lead to lead to misunderstandings , then the difficulty of emotional expression through the text , so the possibility of solving tendencies are larger than through electronic means .

          Principles and procedures for resolving trends in education in virtual communities and educational immediate :

          Work through conflicts help create strong communications between members of the group and lead to positive results , and educational communities instant will contribute tendencies in finding the type of cohesion among members but also contribute to the quality of the results of the educational process , so the professor in the education environment instant must be comfortable in the event of a conflict . Here it should be noted the important point is that there is a danger when they are not able to resolve the dispute Professor in Electronic Communities , Vvhalh to influence or support in resolving the dispute may lead to the destruction of the educational process and the reluctance of even warned by the participating students .

          Accordingly, we can say that he should draw interest in distance education to develop a sense of unity within the group of participants in order to ensure the success of scientific education , community education is a tool that spoke of the educational process instant in which , Members are dependent on each other to achieve the desired results of the curriculum , for example, when he enters ( enter ) at the site of one of the participants is not scheduled to happen there any kind of interaction for several days , this thing leads to frustration and discouragement .

          The new model is the professor who gives a sense of independence and entrepreneurial spirit , creativity, and that during the dialogue , participation and encouragement to ask questions .Interaction in virtual education process :

           In traditional education students see each other, know each other through good knowledge of the educational process , but the question is how can we make all this acquaintance and interaction occurs when the contact was limited to text or audio through the computer screen only ? The fact can not happen immediately , but it can facilitate such a way that one can develop a discussion of mutual guidance regardless of how the partnership between the groups, with each other , and be the beginning of the curriculum send messages welcoming the tariff and this thing is useful to start dating default , the professor in this type of education must be flexible subtracting its agenda and programs to be able to the educational process and then allow students to perform their own programs each according to its own needs .
