E-Learning
A side effect of the knowledge-based society is the need of lifelong learning for personal and economic success. School and work are literally included, since a broad schooling can only partially meet the eventual work requirements and progresses.
The ongoing change leading to a knowledge-based society is associated with today’s mandatory use of computers and the boom due to the internet. As a logical consequence, forms of learning have emerged over time, which meet this medial evolution.
Now, so called e-learning or corporate learning bring the learning contents to learners, regardless of time and space. Traditional, book-based, teaching methods are opened up, augmented by audio and video content and are interactively connected.
Evolution of E-Learning
The so called computer based training (CBT), where content of teaching is distributed on a medium and self-study has priority, is gradually superseded by web based training (WBT).
Thanks to broadband connection and compression, teaching can now be conducted apart from optical media, with any data amount and networked teachers and students. The live character finds its way back into e-learning with Web 2.0 technologies like chats and video streaming.
E-Learning is supposed to support traditional methods, not to completely replace them. Concepts like the so called Blended Learning (integrated learning) for example, combine the properties of a classroom event with electronic learning styles.
