E-learning
• The use of the Internet and related technologies for the
development, distribution and enhancement of learning
resources
Provides students and professional with skills for career
advancement, enabling busy people to learn new

industry, expecting it to double in size between 2000 and

17.1 INTRODUCTION
e -Le a rning SWO T Ana lysis

Strengths Ability to offer education to large numbers of students from distant

locations.
Lower costs (travel, instructor fees).
Shorter courses mean less time commitment necessary from corporate
students.
Lower cost means education is more accessible to people with limited
financial resources.
Use best instructors making best courses available to all.
Weaknesses Large commitment to technology needed from universities, corporations offering e-
learning courses.
Lack of face-to-face contact with students.
Current technology does not support low-cost, high-bandwidth, synchronous student-
teacher interaction.

2
17.1 INTRODUCTION
Opportunities Ability to reach the world instantaneously with the latest news and
technologies.
Ability to train sales force and employees about product advancements.
Access to courses from a variety of universities.
Decrease long-term education expenses by shifting learning programs to the
Web.
Threats Lack of student interest.
Equipment and technology requirements restrict adoption of e-learning.
Lack of human interaction deters the learning process.
Most corporate instructor-led courses last 4-5 days, comprehensive
coverage of some topics could be lost in a shorter e-course.

17.2 E-LEARNING
TECHNOLOGIES AND
INFRASTRUCTURE
Video-conferencing technology
Streaming audio and video
Redundant storage space
High-bandwidth required to broadcast courses over the Web
Computer-based-training (CBT)
• Interactive educational software presented on floppy disks
and CDs
• Allows students to take a self-paced course in any number of
subjects
• Since no downloading is necessary, bandwidth is not a
concern with CBT courses

17.2 E-LEARNING
TECHNOLOGIES AND
INFRASTRUCTURE
Web-based-training developers must consider that their
courses will be used on varying operating systems and
platforms
Cross-platform
• Products are accessible by many different operating systems
Asynchronous courses
• Can be taken any time, are self-paced and will not have the
benefit of a live instructor
• Courses must minimize student confusion by providing a
basic interface and clear, concise content
• Students should have the ability to communicate with each
other using chat programs and message boards

17.2 E-LEARNING
TECHNOLOGIES AND
INFRASTRUCTURE
Storage space is a major concern for e-learning vendors
• Each course requires a database of information that can be
downloaded by the students
• Audio and video require additional server space
Synchronous courses
• Occurring in real time
• Audio and video with live instructors will require even more
resources to ensure that systems function properly when the
courses are delivered
Learning Management Systems (LMS)
• A database which can be accessed by employees and
students, providing course outlines, explanations, pre-
requisite information and courses

17.3 E-LEARNING
OVERVIEW
