3. What is e-learning?
•e-Learning is a technology
mediated learning either from a
distance or in physical classroom
setting (computer assisted
learning).
•e-learning is the learning process
created by interaction with
digitally delivered content,
services and support.

4. Benefits of e-Learning
•Self-paced
•Cost effective
•Faster
•Consistent
•Anywhere, anytime training
•Easy updation
•Increased retention
•Easily manageable

5. E-learning process
ADDIE model (Systemic design of instruction) – Re-modeled by Dick and Carey (1996).

6. E-learning process
Analysis: (Audience and content)
During analysis, the designer identifies the learning problem, the goals and objectives, the audience’s needs,
existing knowledge, and any other relevant characteristics. Analysis also considers the learning
environment, any constraints, the delivery options, and the timeline for the project.

7. E-learning process
Design: (Strategy design)
A systematic process of specifying learning objectives. Detailed storyboards and prototypes are often made,
and the look and feel, graphic design, user-interface and content is determined here.

8. E-learning process
Develop:
The actual creation (production) of the content and learning materials based on the Design phase.

9. E-learning process
Implement: (Integration & Delivery)
During implementation, the plan is put into action and a procedure for training the learner and teacher is
developed. Materials are delivered or distributed to the student group. After delivery, the effectiveness of
the training materials is evaluated.Justina Sharma - Team leader12/30/09 9

10. E-learning process
Evaluation: (course feedback & maintenance)
This phase consists of (1) formative and (2) summative evaluation. Formative evaluation is present in each
stage of the ADDIE process. Summative evaluation consists of tests designed for criterion-related referenced
items and providing opportunities for feedback from the users. Revisions are made as necessary.Justina Sharma - Team leader12/30/09 10

11. Learning Objectives
“An instructional objective is a statement that will describe
what the learner will be able to do after completing the
instruction (course)”
Stating clear course objectives is important because:
•Objectives guide the content materials and the teaching methods
•You can use objectives to make sure you reach your goals
•Students will understand expectations
•Assessment and grading is based on the objectives

14. Learning Objectives -
Analysis
Before framing the objectives, you have to analyze;
•the student
¤Knowledge level
¤Understanding of the subject
¤Level of competency to be delivered
•the content
¤Level of content
¤Gap analysis
¤Content flow

15. Learning Objectives-
Components
•A learning objective has three major
components
1. A description – able to do
2. A conditions – under which the student will perform
3. A criteria – evaluating performance

It focuses on preparing yourself, your
course, and your students for a
constructive learning community.
Goals are similar to objectives, but
goals are elaborate and detailed.
They specify the long term
achievement of the course.
Provide a single goal for every course,
until it is highly necessary to add few
more to them.

23. Goals and Objectives

24. Tips
•Include only one general learning outcome in each objective
•Use only first person
•Write as many objectives as you can to clearly specify what you want to
convey.
•Do not use the terms learner, the student
•Do not write more than two goals. Try to freeze it into one, until there is a
true necessity for the second.
•Address the Student or learner when you work with the syllabus doc.
