E-Learning Modules - Making learning
easy
Like all
field in today’s time, learning things has also been changed. In this era of
new technologies learning has also become E-learning that is one can learn anything he/she wants online
through the web or electronically. It includes any form of teaching or learning
that is done electronically. It means transfer of knowledge or skill through a
computer and a network for the transfer.
E-learning modules are a medium
that help in E-learning. They are released on different courses to educate the
readers about the topic on which they are written. Five things that should be
kept in mind while creating an E-learning
module is –
·
Objectives
should be made clear – The module should have a defined objective and scope as
it will help in organization of the module in a proper way and if the module is
designed good then the reader will be able to connect with the module and they
will be able to go on with the flow of the module. The good organization will
also make the E-learning module
interesting and therefore reader would be more interesting in reading the
module and would then definitely understand the module more than they would
have understood it on the other hand.
·
Relevant
content which is comprehensive – The designer should know and understand the
context in which the reader would be taking up the course. Also, the designer of
the course should not always think about what clients need, as this will limit
the thoughts and creativity of the author. Moreover, the module would not come
up as informative if it is written only keeping in mind the needs of the
client.
·
Good
interface – One can understand more clearly only when he/she takes interest in
it. If the module is flooded only with text then the reader is definitely not
going to take interest in the module and the very purpose of the module would
fail. Graphics and images
are also very important part of every module after all that is what grabs the
interest of the reader. Graphics help
in good presentation of the module and that is what first catches the eye of
the reader. If it is not good graphically then definitely reader would think it
to be waste of time.
·
Module
should be interactive – The world is of vocational education today. People like
to learn things that they can apply; similarly do they prefer to learn things
by doing rather than going the other way round. Therefore, the module should
stimulate some real life things in their course that would help to hold on the
interest of the reader and make them believe the practicality of the course.
·
Assessment
should be well designed – An assessment should be present at the end of every
course. It should facilitate the reader to clear all of his/her doubts and
should also provide the opportunity to learn something more about the topic.
Feedback should also be provided quickly so that the reader comes to know how
much he/she has understood the course.
