The Development Of An E Learning Training Program

In the past, academic and administrative computer systems were isolated, either for security reasons or as a result of limited interconnectivity with other computers. Today, nearly any information that an administrator, teacher, student or parent might is available through a network connection. Course lectures are presented are viewed and students submit their assignments via the internet school class shell. Student and parents can view their grades online, administrative paperwork and other information can be shared through a variety of systems. The internet is an awesome and convenient way to communicate, but it introduces

The E-Learning Team is tasked to pick the right technology to meet the high demand of training. They will choose the applications to build the E-Learning courses, a robust LMS to house them and track down training completion, and utilize the Web 2.0

In CTE3323 Technical Applications, the student covered the use and integration of computers in the classroom and the office. Topics included history of computers, computing hardware, word processing, spreadsheets, databases, desktop publishing, graphics, presentation software, the Internet, e-mail, and web-page creation. The course goals were to understand the basic history of the computer and of the Internet, develop basic knowledge of computer graphics programs, desktop publishing programs, database management programs, and programs unique to each instruction/trade/employment area. Additionally, topics such as the origins of the Internet, how to evaluate it, and use it for research were discussed.

While my responsibilities included teaching, I spent most of time mentoring 122 students through the test plan development and experiments required by the lab’s seven modules involving topics ranging from material property characterization, flow loop, and performance testing of vacuum cleaners. In addition, I trained new graduate lab assistants; developed two new lab modules addressing industrial safety for operating lathes, drill presses, and milling machines; and developed a presentation on the technical writing skills required for the content and format of the lab reports. Due to my 6 years research and educational background in engineering design, I am interested to teach various courses across the mechanical engineering curriculum including MECH 220 Mechanics, MECH 202 Graphics for Design and Manufacture, MECH 222 Introduction to Mechanical Engineering Lab, MECH 353 Solid Mechanics, MECH 355 Manufacturing Processes, and MECH 302 Finite Elements in Analysis and Design immediately after starting. Moreover, I am interested to teach thermo-fluid courses because my Master of Science concentration was on experimental heat transfer and thermo-fluid sciences.

E-learning is considered as an alternative training option that provides a more hands-on, interactive approach to learning. Hence, E-learning promotes content in ways in which employees approach, understand and retain information (Trout, 2016). The format of E-learning will be to present information, test the trainees’ learning by having them respond to questions, and provide immediate feedback to the trainee on whether the response was correct.

While the number of e-learning courses are expanding and being delivered across the internet, it is rapidly increasing a student's knowledge. During the e-learning process it is known that the effects of technology, pedagogical, and characteristics on student learning is taken in effect. These characteristics are found when the educator reflects and makes effort in creating a classroom that is meant for student engagement. However, each classroom environment can be associated with student learning if the educator makes themselves a guide. The amount of time that the students put into their education is important because of the different levels of technology and its sophistication. This is important to know and understand because of the teaching methods that can lead to expertise that may be the main criterion for successful teaching in an e-learning environment. It is also important that educators spend more time creating instructional skills for groups and developing all types of discussions and questions that lead to engagement, which can foster intimacy down the line. Faculty need support and engagement too so that they can make investments to ensure that the online course community can have offerings that are technological and pedagogically encouraging to student learning

Colleges and universities have become increasingly dependent on technology. Student records and research findings are digitized, many classes are conducted online, and faculty and students communicate regularly over the internet. Institutions have multiple campuses that need to communicate with each other and share data.

Computer based learning, as it stands, has plenty of disadvantages, but many in business and educational arenas remain optimistic about its future. There are two indisputable truths about computer-based learning, or e-learning. First, it will revolutionize education and second, such a future is just around the block. Educational experts agree that most types of study are not yet effective when delivered purely online, mainly because of bandwidth limitations, expensive set-up costs, continued resistance to the medium and a shortage of quality course content.

Distance learning (education) has become an integral part of the education process over the past few decades and is growing in popularity as technology advances.(Willis 1992) describes distance education (as) "the organizational framework andprocess of providing instruction at a distance. Distance education takes place when ateacher and student(s) are physically separated, and technology…(is) used to bridge theinstruction gap." (Coutts 1996). Furthermore, "distance learning activities are designedto fit the specific context for learning, the nature of the subject matter; intended learningoutcomes, needs and goals of the learner, the learner's environment and the instructional echnologies and methods." (American

While the phrase “a picture is worth a thousand words” is often used to emphasize the importance of visuals, recent research from neuroscience reveals the science behind that saying. However, the challenge for e-learning practitioners arises when they attempt to integrate learning theory into the design and creation of visuals and video. Although elearning practitioners and instructional designers are educated in learning theory, what is often overlooked is the design of effective visuals and/or video that has a basis learning theory.

As a military organisation or as an approved organisation, regular human factors skill based training programs must be offered. Also know as Maintenance Error Management (MEM) for maintenance personnel. The training should be based on providing safety critical staff with non-technical skills to manage consequences and prevention of human errors. This is to emphasise that making errors is normal and expected however the consequences are just as

It also includes the delivery of content via Internet, intranet/extranet (LAN/WAN), audio- and videotape, satellite broadcast, podcast, interactive TV, CD-ROM, and more. E-learning programs are endowed with a training system, which employees can access, where face-to-face instruction is not possible because the very nature is that it is borderless and potentially global in scope. With e-learning methods, training can take place on-demand, and trainees can be given greater control over their learning than ever before (Rosenberg 2001). This increased control has the potential to improve training effectiveness. E-learning courses add value to traditional learning modes by offering self-paced or live, instructed training classes. Specifically, self-paced courses can be taken at the employee's leisure and are good for self-motivated persons. Typically these types of courses can be taken at convenience of the busy workers as well as for globally dispersed employees. Hence workplace training needs to be broadened and customized (Marc J. Rosenberg & Steven Foreman 2010). Live e-learning is capable of instant updating, storage/retrieval, distribution and sharing of instruction and information. Soft skills such as management, leadership, or team building can be tackled in this environment. However, this type of training works best if the class size is limited to 25

e-Learning is a catch-all term that covers a wide range of instructional material that can be delivered on a CD-ROM or DVD, over a local area network (LAN), or on the Internet. It includes Computer-Based Training (CBT), Web-Based Training (WBT), Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS), distance or online learning and online tutorials. The major advantage to students is its easy access. There
