During the past decade there has been a huge revolution in the educational computer applications and still use the computer in the field of education in its infancy, which is increasing day after day, even taking take many forms, it is computer education to the use of the Internet in education and finally emerged the concept of e-learning, which relies on technology to provide educational content to the learner a good and effective manner. There are also the characteristics and advantages of this type of education and highlight the most important features and benefits in saving time and effort and cost in addition to the computer's ability to improve the overall level of getting the school, help teachers and students to provide an attractive learning environment, do not rely on space or time. "
The e-learning method of teaching methods in the delivery of information to the learner, and is in the use of modern communication mechanisms of a computer and its networks and multiple Osaith any sustainability technology of all kinds in the delivery of information to the learner in the shortest time and with less effort and greater interest and are managed to the educational process management and control, measure and evaluate the performance of learners .
Information world revolution has made it more like a small electronic screen in the era of mixing between the media and information technology, culture and technology, and become a contact electronically and exchange of news and information between computer networks a reality, allowing quick access to science and knowledge centers and libraries and access to new, moment by moment.
The development stages of education:
- Phase I: What in 1983 ago.
The era of the traditional teacher as was communication between the teacher and student in the classroom by specific study table.
- Phase II: 1984: 1993.
Global Information Network "Internet" appearance
- The fourth stage: from 2001 onwards.
The second generation of global information network, where he became a web design more advanced.
The concept of e-learning has began to spread since the use of electronic display to take lessons in traditional classrooms and the use of multimedia in the quarterly education and self-education operations, and the end of the construction of smart schools and virtual classrooms that allow students to attend and interact with lectures and seminars are held in other countries through the Internet and interactive television technologies .
Can e-learning including owned by the strength and flexibility to improve the educational process and solves a lot of problems by means of which education today, while maintaining the quality of education, in terms of:
- Educational content for students provides anytime, anywhere via the Internet and various other forms.
- Reduces education and training costs.
- Can follow the science accurately.
- Helps universities to accommodate the large numbers of students.
- Provide education to residents in remote areas.
What is e-learning what is the difference between him and distance education?
E-learning can be defined as a method of teaching methods in the delivery of information to the learner depends on the modern technologies of the computer and the Web, such as multiple CDs and Osaithma, and educational software, e-mail and Yards dialogue and debate.
And distance education is derived from the electronic study In both cases, part of the learner receives information from afar for the teacher place (source of information), and when we talk about electronic study not necessarily have to talk about the immediate education simultaneous (online learning), but may be e-learning is synchronous. Education is the default: It is a, learn useful from remote locations is not bounded by time and place of the Internet and technology.
Blended Learning (Blended Learning):
Built education encompasses a range of media that is designed to complement each other, and learning program built could include many learning tools, such as virtual collaborative learning Messaging software, the decisions adopted on the Internet, and the decisions of self-learning systems, and electronic performance support, and learning management systems , as well as built-learning blends multiple events based on activity includes learning in the traditional classroom where the teacher with the students meet face-to-face, self-learning the blending between synchronous and asynchronous learning.
