The Overall Effect of E-Learning on the Education System

In the education sector, the Internet has become one of the vital ways to make available resources for research and learning for both teachers and students to share and acquire information. eLearning solutions connected with technology encompasses the use of the internet and other important technologies to produce materials for learning, teach learners, and also regulate courses in an organization.

How do you define eLearning?

There is no standard accepted definition of e-Learning since the field is still growing and covering new paradigms with passing time. It can be said that eLearning has transformed from a fully-online course to using technology to deliver part or all of a course independent of permanent time and place. It is also believed that e-Learning is the use of new multimedia technologies and the Internet to increase learning quality by easing access to facilities and services as well as distant exchanges and collaboration.

Future of eLearning

E-learning is here to stay and has a long standing future. With the ownership of smartphones and laptops growing across the globe, e-learning is becoming increasingly viable and accessible. Internet connection speeds are also increasing, and with that, opportunities for more multimedia training methods will keep on rising.

In a general sense, learning is expensive, takes a long time and the results can vary. This is where E-learning has been trying for years now to complement the way we learn to make it more effective,measurable, and insightful. As a result, there are a number of tools that help create interactive courses, standardize the learning process and/or inject informal elements to otherwise formal learning processes.

Some of the major trends in eLearning sector are as follows:

Micro-learning:- This trend is focused on the design of microlearning activities through micro-steps in digital media environments; a daily reality for today's knowledge workers. Such activities can be incorporated into a learner's daily routines to make them more accessible. Barring the "traditional" e-learning approaches, micro-learning often tends towards push technology through push media, reducing the cognitive load on the learners.

As a result, the selection of micro-learning objects and also the speed and timing of micro-learning activities are of importance for didactical designs. Micro-learning is a vital paradigm shift that avoids the need to have separate learning sessions since the learning process is embedded in the daily routine of the end-user.

Personalized Learning:- This method is the tailoring of pedagogy, curriculum and learning environments that meets the needs and aspirations of individual learners. Personalization is a broader term. It is far more than simply individualization or differentiation in that it affords the learner a degree of choice about what is learned, when it is learned and how it is learned. Even then this does not indicate unlimited choice as learners will still have targets to be met. But, it can provide learners the opportunity to learn in ways that suit their individual learning styles and multiple intelligence.

Conclusion

Maybe that future is not far when scenes similar to that in the movie Matrix will be everywhere in real life: where Neo lies down in a high-tech dentist’s chair and straps on a wild array of electrodes, downloading a series of martial arts training programs into his brain. Afterward, he opens his eyes and speaks the words geeks have been quoting ever since: “I know Kung Fu”.

As an entrepreneur, it is time to explore new opportunities and possibilities, and as an eLearning software development company, it is time to push the boundaries of innovation.
