PRESENTING E-LEARNING AND DESIGN CONCEPTS
Scott D. Peterson
EDU-697
Define e-learning
“E-Leaning is the use of electronic technologies to create leaning experiences” (Horton 2012, p.21)
Variations of e-learning
STANDALONE COURSES LEARNING GAMES
Self Paced without teacher interaction
Games designed to explore subject matter
Variations of e-learning
LEARNING SIMULATIONS
MOBILE LEARNING
Electronic Simulators designed to recreate learning environment.
Using Mobile Devices such as smart phones and tablets
Variations of e-learning
SOCIAL LEARNING VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
Learning through online collaboration using social media.
Learning through online courses that are designed like traditional classrooms.
E-learning Design
E-learning can be the best or the worst learning possible, dependent on the creativity process that govern the design development of the training.
“The National Technology Plan released in 2005 admits that today's students are far ahead of their teachers in computer literacy” (Richardson 2010 p 89). This means that the teachers need to be updated with how they design E-learning modules!
Instructional Design
The instructional design of E-Learning guides the instructor on what type of educational tools, management systems, design media and content that will be required. . Instructional design is a concept of lesson planning that is a collection of instructional techniques that are intended to stimulate the student’s interests and curiosity". (Newby, Stepich and Leahman 2011 p.87)
Discuss design perspectives and influences
DESIGN PERSPECTIVES DESIGN INFLUENCES
Choices of Technology
Management Systems
Budget Schedule
Trying to teach too much
Failure to teach essentials
Omitting Supporting Objectives
Teaching what is already known
Discuss the alignment of learning goals and objectives
The Learning objectives must state how the e-learning may change the learner. This can be achieved by assessing and having a goal for the class requirements

Teaching Sequences
After the instructor has identified the lesson objectives of the course, they will need to identify the order that they will use to accomplish these goals. ( Horton 2012 p. 114)
Types of Sequencing
Bottom Up •Teach Prerequisite objectives before objectives that require these prerequisites•Eliminates Learners confusion about lesson content
Top Down •Start learners at the “Top” objectives•Allows for learners to access objectives they lack
Sideways •Allow the learners to navigate the course objectices freely• Allows the learners the freedom to satisfy objectives as they see fit
Learning Activities
Learning Activities and Instructional design, educational media, and educational computing can be used to enhance learning in a variety of ways in today’s modern classroom. Instructional design is a concept of lesson planning that is a collection of instructional techniques that are intended to stimulate the student’s interests and curiosity". (Newby, Stepich and Leahman 2011 p.87) It uses motivation, orientation, information and application activities that are designed to assist planning, student teacher relations, implementation of new ideas and feedback in the classroom.
Types of Learning Activities
Absorb
Reading Text
Watching and Listening
DO
Game Playing
Answer Questions
Connect
Project Development
Experimenting
Proven Learning Experiences
Learning Objectives and goals, Teaching sequences, learning activities and applying learning experiences all interrelate with each other to give the teacher and the student a through and well laid out plan for the transfer of knowledge. Remember,
Plan Well, Teach Well!,
