Question No 4: What kind of hardware/software I need for E Learning? Answer No.4: E-learning is delivered using electronic delivery methods such as : -CD-ROMs, -video conferencing, -websites and -e-mail. Interactive multimedia is the creation and use of new media for training and elearning, including the issues of different authoring styles, the choice of platform and the questions the trainer is likely to have to resolve with their IT department, such as the bandwidth available on the organisation's intranet, the multimedia capability of the desktop PCs, CD-ROM or DVD drives, the browser and the use of a learning management system. Multimedia training involves becoming proficient in several different types of media. Multimedia generally refers to the use of several different types of media to deliver information. These types of media are audio, still images, graphics, motion picture, text and animation. Multimedia is most often associated with computers and the internet. Multimedia training therefore, is primarily computer based. Using Multimedia Training: The key to success with multimedia training is to take advantage of the flexibility it offers. Training can be conducted in one-on-one sessions, in small groups, or in the classroom depending upon the needs of the agency. The following are some suggestions for conducting training in all three situations, based on experience. One-on-one sessions: One-on-one sessions allow the user to maximize the effectiveness of multimedia training. The officer logs on to the system using an individual password and interacts with the material. In the First Aid/CPR course, for example, the material may be tailored to an individual's needs with a pre-quiz. Checkmarks are placed to help the officer navigate through the training and track his or her progress. When the officer leaves without having finished, the computer automatically places a "bookmark," enabling the student to resume at the place where he or she previously stopped. The courses have exercises to allow one to practice what has been taught; such exercises can be repeated as often as necessary. Final quizzes test mastery of the material. When an officer successfully meets the passing criteria, this is shown in Manager's Edge. Working one-on-one with the computer has proven successful when the multimedia training system can be left in an open training environment and the officer can sign on and train at any time. An alternative is to control access and schedule officers for training at certain times or to give officers a certain amount of time to finish a block of training. Small group sessions: Small group sessions offer a different dynamic. Using multimedia in this form can be very beneficial to learning. A small group of officers (two to four) use the system together; however, only one response is put into the computer. This stimulates

discussion about issues raised in various lessons and a review of the agency's policy. After the training is completed, the individual officers can review material and take the quizzes to judge mastery of the content. Classroom sessions: Because all the required content is contained in a multimedia course, the presenter can concentrate on expanding the training with an expert's point of view and an explanation of local policy. Classroom discussion can be stimulated when the group must decide on one response or the next step in a procedure. If desired, officers can take quizzes individually on the computer in order to evaluate each student's learning. For use in a classroom, the multimedia system is usually attached to a LCD projector or a large-screen television. INTERACTIVE MEDIA AND E-LEARNING ARE EXTREMELY POWERFUL AND FLEXIBLE TOOLS FOR TRAINING.BLENDED LEARNING, WHEN MULTIMEDIA ARE BLENDED WITH LIVE TRAINING SEEM TO BE PROVING MORE SUCCESSFUL.
