How does “changing the mode of Learning”
from Traditional to E-Learning,
bring about an attitudinal change?
When, “generating” and “recognizing” the documented
information (in terms of the familiar alphanumeric) has not
become too different, then, why does the E-Learning require
such a emphasis for changing over to this mode of learning?
Basically, the Writing of Numbers and Alphabets of Scripts
manually is familiarly by “line drawing”. Straight lines and
bending lines with curvatures, can be practiced and the big and
small variations can become usual by exposure.
The electronic media reproduces these alphanumeric characters only
as these appear to people by manual writing. But, the traditional
manual writing is not the way by which the electronic media produce
these similar looking characters. In this connection the closest
resemblance to traditional ways is the “key-in operation” from the
key-board peripheral the alphanumeric characters to appear on the
displaying peripheral as in mechanical typewriters. Electronic type
writers are not computer peripherals. Using electronic type writers can
be part of e-learning?

NOT only that the FORM in which the information is available
for study is similar, but also, the contents of the subject matter
to be learnt is something independent of what the mode of
learning is.
How can Desk Top Printing [D.T.P.] make a person learn
the subject matter better than the materials Printed from
conventional PRESS of the earlier days?
Here is an essential difference; the mode of Printing may
not be much important if a singular (particular) person’s
progress is concerned. It is a question of making the
reading materials available to many and the materials
reach out to more number of people than by the
conventional methods. Thus the average awareness of
the public is improved on a subject matter of concern,
which brings an betterment of all. Thus it is a question of
the quality of reach to people than the improvement in the
quality of the required few copies or only one.

Then is the question of Quality and Quantity:
On such of those occasions when E-Learning tools are preferred
over the conventional tools, is there any reason for a compromise
on the quality dispensed to individuals because the supply to many
is possible and & circulation and reach to people becomes more?
The claims could be that each individual gets a better reproduced
material, and such improved, individual reach is to many more
individuals than by the conventional tools.
This is some time described as the win-win case
If the E-learning methods are economical, reaches out to many
more and hence the production can require less number of people
to be in such preoccupation because of the quick and efficient
reproducibility, then does this become a cause for unemployment?
These questions and trying to find answer to them would be the preoccupation for ELearning Technology, or Information Technology and does not come under the purview
of thoseSTUDENTS

Having Considered the Quantity & Quality perspective of the
E-Learning methodology, What are the ways of improving on
the E-learning material forms which still require the
conventional ways of Distribution, Sale and Circulation?
ONE of the important aspect is all these E-Learning efforts
require Computers and Peripherals. From the point of view
of a School going Student, carrying a book to learn
Alphabets is not difficult, but carrying a computer with him
containing these materials in E-FORM would be making a

Contents of this slide added on 6th May 2011
The TITLE of this Key Note Address in 2009 was:
“A TEACHER’S PERCEPTION of WHAT THE STUDENT’S APPRECIATION
WOULD BE”
And, in the year 2010, there was a case study of similar topic Published in the Journal Of Open
Learning; The “.pdf” version of this publication of IGNOU can be downloaded from the website
http://www.egyankosh.ac.in Hyperlink to the Full.PDF version is below:
Learner’s Perception to wards information….
Find this remark (in the year 2009) at the end of the Slide#6
These questions and trying to find answer to them would be the preoccupation for E-Learning
Technology, or Information Technology and does not come under the purview of those who want to
pursue there subject matter of study.
However if a specialization has to be a significant accomplishment, it can be so only if the specialist
has acquired a wider appreciation of the relevance of the subject in the context of a multidisciplinary
activity. Specialization may call for inter disciplinary investigations. That is ,from the point of view of an
approach to specialization, it may mean in general the activities of non-relevant content in general. The
broader the basis for specialization, the more it means to be closer to the general scientific community
or public in general so that the public becomes wiser in its appreciation of the relevance of Specialist’s
activity rather than remaining indifferent to an elitist’s pursuits or become prone to misuse by vague
familiarities. http://saravamudhan.tripod.com/infotech_tools/id2.html
The publication (Year 2010) in the Journal of Open learning IJOP_Vol19_No2_p73-85_484.pdf has a
title as follows: How Non-Content Related Forums Influence Social Presence in the Online
Learning Environment.
