The Effect Of The Course-Mode And Gender On Academic Achievement

Schwartz (2013) discusses how blended learning can be a mix of online and in-person instruction or hybrid class. Blended learning is a combination of the physical and digital tools, which integrate face-to-face pedagogical methods with a mixture of in class instruction, online work, and peer collaboration all intertwined with choices, creativity, and differentiated instruction that keeps student’s engaged as they learn. Blackboard, Ramport, and Banner allows faculty and staff members’ access to university data that is need to track the student’s VA benefits.

Whatever the technology, learning is the important element. e-Learning is no longer simply associated with distance or remote learning, but can now form a choice of the best and most appropriate ways of promoting effective learning.

This section of the encyclopedia talks about what students and teachers can contribute to online learning environment. It talks about who the average online learner is and the online relationship between the student and the teacher, and the student and their peers. Above all the author stresses that thinking differently is important to make online education work.

The key components of disruptive blended learning model is giving students some control over the time, place, path and the pace of their learning. The students’ ability to learn according to their style will help accelerate their learning potential. Instead of teaching to the middle, the students have their own personalize education that helps reach for their potential and still meet the standard of the state’s education. Another key components of disruptive blended learning model are that part of learning happens in supervising, brick-and-mortar location. The technology does not replace the teacher, the teachers are there to help mentor and guide the students on their correct path. By having students been at the location, the teachers can

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.

Online education is well established as a viable means of education in both the corporate and academic environments, and it has taken a remarkable pace. A survey undertaken in 2001 of online education instructors conducted by the National Education Association (NEA) indicated that 72% of online learning instructors have a positive opinion about online learning. They believe more students can be reached, learning can be customized and flexible, and interaction can increase among students (Focus, 2001).

When students are enrolling in a class, they have different choices as to how they want to complete the class. It could vary from an online course, to a traditional course. An online course is a modern way of learning with an internet based curriculum, meaning that the entire course is online, as well as all the assignments and activities it will require. On the other hand, a traditional class is a method based upon face-to-face learning and will come with a great deal of communication. Researchers stated that “...approximately 30% of college students are enrolled in at least one online course.” (“Online classes”). Every student has a prefered way of learning; some prefer traditional, and some prefer modern. Although these two methods for learning both have the same end goal and the desire to educate, they have very distinct differences, separating them into two completely different methods with distinctive techniques and environments.

offers an alternative that is faster, cheaper and potentially better. The term “e-learning” has only been in existence since 1999, when the word was first utilized at CBT systems

According to Gail Grimes and Claude Whitmyer(2009); E-education is the application of Internet based approach for the deliverance of learning experiences through primary tools such as e-mails, e-meetings, e-expeditions and the methodologies of teaching and learning; therefore referred as E-learning. E-education takes place multiplicity in formal electronic lecture rooms, on corporate intranets for on-time coaching, audio and video group discussion and in various alternative technologies mediated learning areas. And the delivery of information occurs through internet, intranet/extranet, interactive TV, CD-ROM, satellite broadcast, audio- and videotape (Paulsen, 2002). E-education is also referred to as virtual education; web-based

Blended learning is a combination of traditional face to face and online learning so that learning can take place both inside and outside of the classroom in which online learning is an extension of conventional classroom learning (Colis and Moonen, 2001).

Nowadays, many traditional universities started to use E-learning courses because of its practical effect. It brings us an easy and comfortable step to absorb information and knowledge in all aspects such as: human sciences, law, accounting, economy, medical, spycology or even literacy.

Blended learning combines online with face-to-face learning. The goal of blended learning is to provide the most efficient and effective instruction experience by combining delivery modalities.

E-Learning is trying to provide a more individualized, self-paced, self-directed learning experience (Clark). A survey by a Sociology Professor at CSU-Northridge showed that students in his virtual class performed 20% better than students in his traditional class (Clark). On the other hand, issues concerned with E-Learning includes the fact that students may not be as motivated since, another survey found out that only 66% of the students involved with E-Learning earned credit with a passing grade for their classes (Washington

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

E-Learning is the imparting of knowledge via electronic means. Transfer of skills and expertise has been enabled by computers and networks.
