The E-learning Curve at Edublogs

I blogged recently about how Internet search terms can lead you down some unusual highways and byways.

None more true than today: for some obscure reason I Googled “elearning” + “boat.” Now while I’m a pretty good swimmer, but I hail from a land-locked county and never had any affinity for boats and whatnot. (I did watch The Cruel Sea recently, so maybe…). But I digest.

One of the search results was for the veritable How Stuff Works site’s How E-learning Works page, and I have to say that it was a good an introduction to e-learning as I’ve seen (and better than some from people who should know more about the topic).

The article characterizes e-learning under the following topic headings:

• Introduction to How E-learning Works
• What is E-learning?
• Levels of e-learning
• The Psychology of Learning
• E-learning and Retention
• Self-paced
• Interactive & Motivating E-learning
• Benefits of E-learning
• E-learning Tips
• E-learning and College Courses
• E-learning Tools
