Flow of presentation
• “Students who enroll in distance education courses tend
to be aged 20-40, employed at least part-time, and
sometimes unable to meet the entrance requirements to
regular programs” [3]
• Integration of high technology with multimedia tools
must be emphasized because e-learning relies heavily on
technologies.[1]
Introduction
• There is an argument that conventional learning is the best way in
maintaining a learning process. Other learning methods consider it to
be less efficient. Universities have a proud tradition of combining
learning, research, teaching, and professional development [9].
• Some professors are afraid of their role as main instructor have been
replaced by computer. This condition made them feel that they are
not needed anymore in university.
• M-learning has the potential of taking learning and knowledge across
geographical boundaries and generations due to the fact that it can be
accessed with ease.
• U=M+E+ Television Learning
• So far we have seen literature on the mode of delivery : e
or m or u or blended !
• Are we really considering the Learners? What do they
prefer? Which type of learning system has more impact?
Are we giving them ‘What we have’ or Giving them
‘What they need?
Lets analyse some of the learning styles that a Higher
education student may have:
Multiple Intelligence Theory

MIT-Score Card
Every student has a learning style. There are three
learning styles:
• Visual
• Auditory
• Kinesthetic
Learning Styles! What
does it mean?
Prefer to “see”
Love to watch
movies/
animations
Prefer colors
If you need to really explain to the VISUAL learner how one feels every
Friday after office hours and on every Monday morning, it is advisable to
show the above video:
Visual
Love music and
sound
Have keen ears
Will love
discussions
Use “Sounds” to
speak
Auditory
Mischievous
Fidgety
Cannot sit at one
place for long
Will love to
volunteer
Kinesthetic

Auditory, Visual, and
Kinesthetic components
T-Learning concept advocates a blend of Conventional
Learning,
e-learning and m-learning.
A little intervention of a teacher can make a great
difference….. The idea of M-Learning in India floated
thru a T.V. advertisement
Now that the learning styles of the students are known, we have to
design the instructions so that each type of student really enjoys the
Knowledge Acquisition Process.
For ex: The teacher can
•Use Multilingual instruction
•Use Videos/ Photographs for Visual students
•Use Audio mode for Auditory Students
•Use Simulation and Practical session for Kinesthetic Students
•Have a class in a Jungle/Forest if you have Naturalist students
•Avoid bugging students with Mathematics who have lower Mathematical
Score …
and you are the best designer of instructions!

Experiment
• It is seen that e-learning and m-learning in isolated or stand alone
execution, did not fetch appreciable results in students of higher
education. Students need to be motivated to learn and this element
greatly abstains itself in the e-m-u- methodology. In the total learning
model which proposes a content with a proper mix of e-m-u-c methods
and also adhering to the content of including visual, auditory and
kinesthetic modules makes learning more interesting and knowledge
retention is better. This is reflected in the results of the test 2 and 3 and
also in the test conducted for the T- group. The T-group who were
subjected to Total Learning Model did better than the others. This
implies that TLM is effective and can be practiced for other professions
like medical and engineering too.
