What is e-Learning?
• E-learning is the completion of course work
•
using a computer and the Internet.
The computer is used to:
– view and interact with the course content
– communicate with your teacher and on-line
classmates
– complete assignment and/or write tests
– construct projects
• The Internet brings the students and the
teacher together.
CDLI Parent-Teacher Night 20052006
When is course work completed?
• During the periods designated in the
timetable
– Synchronous periods are times when the student
meets with the teacher in a virtual classroom online.
– Asynchronous classes are times when the student
completes activities independently on-line or offline.
• Whenever students have homework.
– Completion is Essential – Formative/SelfDiagnostic
CDLI Parent-Teacher Night 20052006
What do students need?
• An open mind and a desire to learn.
• Basic time management skills.
• Standard computer skills.
The greatest asset is a positive attitude.

Keys to Success
Successful students are those who:
Use asynchronous time effectively.
• Use the course tools like the homepage or the calendar to
•
•
•
•
monitor due dates and manage their time.
Do assigned work as soon as it is assigned and in small
“chunks” .
Use tools like e-mail to write clear and specific requests for
assistance, clarification, or explanation from the e-teacher.
Participate in vClass by asking questions about what’s
been encountered in the web-based content.
Strive for understanding instead of scrambling to “jump
through the hoops”.
