4. E-learning In an on-line multimedia learning environment:
teaching & learning is ‘one-to-one’ (individual)
more interactivity (in normal classroom, it varies with the class size)
learner-centred
Learner monitoring & grading system

5. LEARNER CENTERED
In a true learner-centered environment, the learner is the beginning and end point of the learning process, and the learner’s needs are the focus of the program.
Tools are available as the learners needs.
The instructor adjusts to the student
The quality of instruction is measured against standards
The student is an active partner in the learning process
The course is continually renewed through feedback from learners

Examples include:
listening to a live radio broadcast
watching live a television broadcast
audio/video conferencing
Internet telephony
online lectures
two-way live satellite broadcast

15. Asynchronous learning
Characteristic for asynchronous learning is the fact that that the trainer prepares the courseware material before the course takes place. The learner is free to decide when he wants to study the courseware
Examples include:
self paced courses taken via Internet or CD-Rom
videotaped classes
stored audio/video Web presentations or seminars
recorded audio tapes
Q & A mentoring
reading messages

16. Examples of synchronous learning
