eLearning Platforms
eLearning is the practice of using technology to support student engagement, self direction and learning, anywhere at anytime. It is a reasonably new educational behavior and is part of the growing idea of "21st Century" learning. This practice takes advantage of personally owned student technology devices, ubiquitous internet access and creative teaching approaches. An eLearning tool provides the digital environment within which students accept work from the teachers, discuss, share and submit evidence of learning. Some systems are sophisticated and complex while others offer fewer features but are easier to use.
Typical eLearning features;
1. Distribute learning materials to students
2. Track student achievement
3. Set assessment tasks
4. Receive completed assessment tasks from students
5. Host moderated discussions, answer questions
6. Build a personal resource library
7. Access this learning environment from a variety of devices
To asses which one is right for you, why not work with your technology committee to test out each platform and then report back on pros and cons.
