Introduction
1.1 Background of the study
E-learning is an education via the
Internet, network, or standalone computer.
E-learning is basically the network- enabled convey of skills and
knowledge. E-learning refers to using electronic applications and processes to
learn. E-learning includes all forms of electronically supported learning and
teaching (Tirkes, G,2010). The information and communication systems, whether networked
learning or not, serve as specific media to implement the learning process.
This often involves both out-of-classroom and in-classroom educational
experiences via technology, even as advances continue in regard to devices and
curriculum. E-learning is the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills
and knowledge. E-learning applications and processes include Web-based
learning, computer-based learning, virtual education opportunities and digital
collaboration. Content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio
or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM. That is to say E-learning systems
contain both Learning Management System and Course management system. It can be
self-pace or instructor-led and includes media in the form of text, image,
animation, streaming video and audio. It is commonly thought that new
technologies can make a big difference in education. In young ages especially,
children can use the huge interactivity of new media, and develop their skills,
knowledge, and perception of the world, under their parents' monitoring, of
course.
Many proponents of e-learning believe
that everyone must be equipped with basic knowledge in technology, as well as
use it as a medium to reach a particular goal and aim. In the 20th century, we
have moved from the Industrial Age through the Information Age and now to the
Knowledge Age. Knowledge and its efficient management constitute the key to
success and survival for organizations in the highly dynamic and competitive
world of today. Efficient acquisition, storage, transfer, retrieval,
application, and visualization of knowledge often distinguish
successful organizations from
the unsuccessful ones. The ability to obtain, assimilate, and apply the
right knowledge effectively will become a key skill in the next century.
Learning is the key to achieving our full potential. Our survival in the
21first century as individuals, organizations, and nations will depend upon our
capacity to learn and the application of what we learn to our daily lives.
Elearning has the potential to transform how and when employees learn. Learning will become more integrated with
work and will use shorter, more modular, just-in-time delivery systems. By
leveraging workplace technologies,
e-learning is bridging the gap between
learning and work. Workers can integrate learning into work more effectively
because they use the same tools and technology for learning as they use for
work. Both employers and employees recognize that elearning will diminish the narrowing
gap between work and home, and between work and learning. E-learning is an
option to any organization looking to improve the skills and capacity of its
employees. With the rapid change in all types of working environments,
especially medical and healthcare environments, there is a constant need to
rapidly train and retrain people in new technologies, products, and services
found within the environment. There is also a constant and unrelenting need for
appropriate management and leveraging of the knowledge base so that it is
readily available and accessible to all stakeholders within the workplace
environment.
1.2 Statement
of the Problem
1.2.1 Current system
The current situation is very limited to
few resources, students are unable to get knowledge more than that the lecture
provides to them. This in the end limits student’s performances, because
everything a student gets is collected from lectures in class.
Here are some of the problems of the
current system:
• The
current system at Cross River University of Technology is that lectures
download references for students or for lecturing.
• Students
submit assignment to lectures through hard copies or personal emails.
• Students
only get help from lectures if the lectures are in they’re office. • New lectures to a course have to get
materials on their own.
• Student
are required to physical be in the classroom in order to gain knowledge thereby
sacrificing all other responsibilities.
• Students
are unable to share resources effectively and hold group discussions that are
monitored or supervised by lectures
