E-learning
It is a structured course or learning experience delivered electronically; it can also
include performance support content. There are also many different elements that
can make up an e-learning program, such as live or pre-recorded lecture content,
video, quizzes, simulations, games, activities, and other interactive elements.
• Asynchronous e-learning is self paced; the learners are taking the course on
their own, usually on a laptop. Asynchronous e-learning programs may include
pre-recorded lecture content and video, visuals, and/or text, knowledge
quizzes, simulations, games, and other interactive elements.
• Synchronous e-learning, more commonly referred to as live-online training,
online learning, synchronous online training, or virtual classroom training, is
instructor-led and taken at the same time as other learners – everyone just
happens to be geographically dispersed. This training typically uses a web-
conferencing or virtual classroom platform (such as Adobe Connect or
GoToTraining) that offers features such as slide or screen sharing, as well as
interaction tools such as chat, polling, and screen annotation.
