What is e-Learning?
e-Learning is the convergence of learning and the
Internet.
e-Learning uses the power of networks, primarily those that
rely on Internet technologies, satellite channels, and digital
content to enable learning.
e-Learning is forever. Continuous education. Daily learning.
Work becomes learning, learning becomes work. |
|
| How
Does it matter?
How Does it matter? Learning has become a vital continuous
business function, old-style training cannot keep pace. Traditional
workshops cost a fortune and time away from the workplace.
In the eyes of many senior managers, off-site workshops have
always been somewhere between a total waste of time and a
boondoggle, the "great training robbery."
e-Learning is attractive to corporations because it promises
the best use of time, accelerated learning, global reach,
fast pace, and accountability. It's manageable. It cuts paperwork
and administrative overhead. Sometimes it can be outsourced,
providing more time for leveraging the organization's core
competence. e-Learners like it, too. .

|
| I'm
relatively new to the Internet -- can I use online learning?
Yes. Our courses are designed to be interactive and user-friendly.
Also, there is always a tutor that you can e-mail for personalized
support. If you can use Hotmail, Yahoo, Rediff, Amazon, or
eBay, then you can take one of our online courses. |

are encouraged to consider an e-Learning class. Electronically
delivered classes are especially ideal for those who:

changing work hours
- Work
the graveyard shift
- Have
to travel intermittently
- Have
family demands (especially small children)
- Are
homebound
-
Need that extra input from the industry viewpoint

How
do I get help or interact with other learners?
We'll tell you about a concept, show you what we
mean, and then let you work on real assignments and exercises.
Then we'll have real human tutors grade and comment on those
exercises. Tutors are also available to answer questions via
email.Students also can participate in an online community
of learners via email, chat rooms and discussion boards.

How
do I know how much I have learned ?

with the help of our online quizzes after every chapter of
a course and online trial tests on courses.

How
does it work?
e-Learning is inevitably a mix of activities -- people learn
better that way. An e-Learning environment generally includes:
-
Self-paced training delivered over
the web
-
Many
virtual events (which could take place in virtual classroom,
virtual lecture hall, or expert-led discussion)·
-
Mentoring
(which might entail coaching, help desk, office hours,
periodic check-in, email exchanges)
-
Simulation,
because we learn by doing. Learners from all over the
globe experiment on millions of dollars worth of routers
and bridges at Mentor Labs.
-
Collaboration,
either joint problem-solving or discussion among study
groups via discussion groups and chat rooms
-
Assessment,
both for initial skills check and for opting out of topics
the learner has already mastered
-
Competency
roadmap, a custom learning plan based on job, career,
and personal goals
-
Authoring
tools, to develop and update content
-
Learning
management system which registers, tracks, and delivers
content to learners; reports on learner progress, assessment
results, and skill gaps for instructors; enrolls learners,
provides security, and manages user access for administrators
|
|
Do
You Provide books with the training?
You do not require any additional books if you train with
‘w3varsity’. This is the advantage getting trained
by ‘w3varsity’. All the material is included in
our courses. Our method of training is a fantastic alternative
to books and manuals.
|
|
What
is the difference between e-Learning and other CBT (Computer
Based Training)?
CBT has been around for some 20 years now and is of benefit
in specific training environments. However, the increasing
speed at which technology changes, demands faster up-grades
and more personal support and assistance than can be provided
by just CBT.
|
|
How
much does the course costs?
The good news is that the cost of courses delivered by internet
technology is far lower compared to the traditional classroom
fees. |
|
How
do I make payments?
Use your credit card via our online payment solutions through
‘Paypal’. Bank draft, wire transfer, bank transfer,
cheque and cash, w3varsity has a range of payment modes, one
will be an ideal fit. |
|
What are the pitfalls?
- Habits,
customs, and culture
- Technology
delivery -- bandwidth
- Pricing
models
- Lack
of digital collaboration models
- Unreasonable
level of expectation
Certain content -- because of its nature,
relative value, or importance -- is not suitable for technology
based delivery. While online training is especially well suited
for the acquisition of IT skills, it has certain limitations
in the area of soft skills training. Other educational content
that does not translate well into the virtual environment
is material requiring significant hands-on interactivity,
with a strong emphasis on peer review and collaboration.
