ON-LINE LEARNING / E-LEARNING
The use of electronic media and information and communication technologies (ICT) in
education.
It includes all forms of educational technology in learning and teaching.
It is inclusive of, and is broadly synonymous with multimedia learning, technology-
enhanced learning (TEL),computer-based instruction (CBI), computer managed
instruction,
[1]
computer-based training (CBT), computer-assisted instruction or
computer-aided instruction (CAI), internet-based training (IBT), web-based
training (WBT), online education, virtual education, virtual learning
environments (VLE), and digital educational collaboration.
The alternative names described above emphasize a particular aspect, component or
delivery method.

ON-LINE LEARNING / E-LEARNING
It includes numerous types of media that deliver text,
audio, images, animation, and streaming video.

It also includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape,
satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well as web-based learning.

E-learning can occur in or out of the classroom. (Asynchronous learning or
synchronous learning).

E-learning is suited to distance learning and flexible learning, but it can also be used in
conjunction with face-to-face teaching.

BLENDED LEARNING:

Distance and flexible learning that can also be used in
conjunction with face-to-face teaching.



Formal education program in which a student learns at least in part through online
delivery of content and instruction with some element of student control over time,
place, path or pace.

While still attending a school structure. So face-to-face classroom
methods are combined with computer-mediated activities.



VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS:

(VLE) or learning platform.
E-learning education system based on the web that models conventional in-
person education by providing equivalent virtual access to classes, class
content, tests, homework, grades, assessments, and other external resources
such as academic or museum website links.
It is also a social space where students and teacher can interact through
discussions or chat.
Virtual learning environments are the basic components of
contemporary distance learning, but can also be integrated with a physical
learning environment
.



VIRTUAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS:

Synchronously

Asynchronously

Participants meet in real time, and teachers
conduct live classes in virtual classrooms.


Students can communicate through a
microphone, chat rights, or by writing on the
board
Self-paced learning.


Students are expected to complete lessons and
assignments independently through the system.


Deadlines: but each student is learning at his own
pace.


INTERACTIVE WHITEBOARD (IWB):

It is a large interactive display that connects to
a computer.

A projector projects the computer's desktop onto the board's surface where users
control the computer using a pen, finger, or other device.

The board is typically mounted to a wall or floor stand.

They are used in a variety of settings, including classrooms at all levels of education,
in corporate board rooms and work groups, in training rooms for professional sports
coaching, in broadcasting studios, and others.

CLASSROOM 1.0 / WEB 1.0

WEB ESTTICA CON DOCUMENTOS QUE JAMS SE ACTUALIZABAN Y LOS CONTENIDOS DIRIGIDOS A
LA NAVEGACIN HTML Y GIF.
NAVEGADORES DE SLO TEXTO BASTANTE RPIDOS.
DESPUS SURGI EL HTML QUE HIZO LAS PGINAS WEB MS AGRADABLES A LA VISTA, AS COMO
LOS PRIMEROS NAVEGADORES VISUALES TALES COMO IE, NETSCAPE, EXPLORER (EN VERSIONES
ANTIGUAS), ETC.
LA WEB 1.0 ES DE SLO LECTURA. EL USUARIO NO PUEDE INTERACTUAR CON EL CONTENIDO DE LA
PGINA (NADA DE COMENTARIOS, RESPUESTAS, CITAS, ETC), ESTANDO TOTALMENTE LIMITADO A LO
QUE EL WEBMASTER SUBE A STA.
WEB 1.0 SE REFIERE A UN ESTADO DE LA WORLD WIDE WEB. EL CONCEPTO WEB 1.0 SURGI
SIMULTNEAMENTE AL DE WEB 2.0, Y SE USA EN RELACIN A ESTE SEGUNDO TRMINO PARA
COMPARAR AMBOS.

CLASSROOM 2.0 / WEB 2.0

SITIOS WEB QUE FACILITAN EL COMPARTIR INFORMACIN, LA INTEROPERABILIDAD, EL DISEO CENTRADO EN EL
USUARIO

Y LA COLABORACIN.
PERMITE A LOS USUARIOS INTERACTUAR Y COLABORAR ENTRE S COMO CREADORES DE CONTENIDO GENERADO POR
USUARIOS EN UNA COMUNIDAD VIRTUAL.
EJEMPLOS DE LA WEB 2.0 SON LAS COMUNIDADES WEB, LOSSERVICIOS WEB, LAS APLICACIONES WEB, LOS SERVICIOS
DE RED SOCIAL, LOS SERVICIOS DE ALOJAMIENTO DE VIDEOS, LAS WIKIS, BLOGS, Y FOLCSONOMAS.
SE REFIERE A CAMBIOS ACUMULATIVOS EN LA FORMA EN LA QUE DESARROLLADORES DE SOFTWARE Y USUARIOS
FINALES UTILIZAN LA WEB.
EN CONCLUSIN, LA WEB 2.0 NOS PERMITE REALIZAR TRABAJO COLABORATIVO ENTRE VARIOS USUARIOS O
COLABORADORES.
LAS HERRAMIENTAS QUE OFRECE LA WEB 2.0 NO SLO PERMITIRN MEJORAR LOS TEMAS EN EL AULA DE CLASE, SINO
TAMBIN PUEDEN UTILIZARSE PARA TRABAJO EN EMPRESA.
LA WEB 2.0 PERMITE A ESTUDIANTES Y DOCENTES MEJORAR LAS HERRAMIENTAS UTILIZADAS EN EL AULA DE CLASE.
EL TRABAJO COLABORATIVO ESTA TOMANDO MUCHA IMPORTANCIA EN LAS ACTIVIDADES QUE REALICEMOS
EN INTERNET.


ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF ICT IN EDUCATION
ICTS are a potentially powerful tool for EXTENDING EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES,
both formal and non-formal (rural populations, groups traditionally excluded from
education due to cultural or social reasons such as ethnic minorities, girls and women,
persons with disabilities, and the elderly, as well as all others who for reasons of cost
or because of time constraints are unable to enroll on campus).
ANYTIME, ANYWHERE.
ACCESS TO REMOTE LEARNING RESOURCES. ICT also facilitate access to
resource persons, mentors, experts, researchers, professionals, business leaders, and
peersall over the world.
ICTS HELP PREPARE INDIVIDUALS FOR THE WORKPLACE: workplace is
becoming more and more ubiquitous.
BENEFITS/ADVANTAGES OF ICT IN EDUCATION: GENERAL BENEFITS


Greater efficiency throughout the school.



Communication channels are increased through email, discussion groups and chat rooms.



Regular use of ICT across different curriculum subjects can have a beneficial motivational
influence on students learning.




BENEFITS/ADVANTAGES OF ICT IN EDUCATION: BENEFITS FOR TEACHERS



ICT facilitates sharing of resources, expertise and advice.
Greater flexibility in when and where tasks are carried out.
Gains in ICT literacy skills, confidence and enthusiasm.
Easier planning and preparation of lessons and designing materials.
Access to up-to-date pupil and school data, any time and anywhere.
Enhancement of professional image projected to colleagues.
Students are generally more on task and express more positive feelings when they use computers
than when they are given other tasks to do.
Computer use during lessons motivated students to continue using learning outside school hours.


BENEFITS/ADVANTAGES OF ICT IN EDUCATION: BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS

Higher quality lessons through greater collaboration between teachers in planning and
preparing resources .
More focused teaching, tailored to students strengths and weaknesses, through better
analysis of attainment data.
Improved pastoral care and behaviour management through better tracking of students.
Gains in understanding and analytical skills, including improvements in reading
comprehension.
Development of writing skills (including spelling, grammar, punctuation, editing and re-
drafting), also fluency, originality and elaboration.
Encouragement of independent and active learning, and self-responsibility for learning.
Flexibility of anytime, anywhere access (Jacobsen and Kremer, 2000).

BENEFITS/ADVANTAGES OF ICT IN EDUCATION: BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS

Development of higher level learning styles.
Students who used educational technology in school felt more successful in school,
were more motivated to learn and have increased self-confidence and self-esteem.
Students found learning in a technology-enhanced setting more stimulating and
student-centred than in a traditional classroom.
Broadband technology supports the reliable and uninterrupted downloading of web-
hosted educational multimedia resources.
Opportunities to address their work to an external audience.
Opportunities to collaborate on assignments with people outside or inside school.

DISADVANTAGES OF ICT
Teachers attitude: some see it as a potential tool to aid learning whereas others seem
to disagree with the use of technology in early year settings.

Lack of knowledge: In theory some people may have the opinion that the teachers who
had not experienced ICT throughout their learning tend to have a negative attitude
towards it, as they may lack the training in that area of the curriculum.

Cost: the fact that computers are expensive.

Internet: the fact that there is no INTERNET at school or at home.
