网络学习基础知识
So, what is eLearning, exactly?
eLearning, or electronic learning, is defined as any training or learning that is delivered digitally. It is often used synonymously with online learning and virtual learning. Though the curriculum is formalized, learners can access the material through their computer, tablet, or even cellphone – anytime, anywhere, if they are connected to the internet.
对于教育工作者和雇主来说，这是一种负担得起，有效的方法来增强关键知识和技能。对于学习者而言，这是一种吸收课程材料的方便互动方式。
Research has shown that up to60％better consistency of learning can be achieved through digital training.2
eLearning Promotes Student Engagement
E-learning is used to guide a more progressive learning experience, giving learners the freedom to advance at their own pace while still receiving immediate feedback.
In a typical lecture class, only40%学习者正在积极关注。3
Studies show that students are more motivated when using eLearning.4更有动力学习的学生更有可能参与。而且，最终，这意味着他们将实现自己的学习目标。5
增强的动力和参与源于电子学习的互动性质。这种互动的策略包括视频，测验，模拟案例，民意调查和游戏。这些策略中的每一个都吸引了各种学习风格，尤其是视觉和听觉学习者。
电子学习可以帮助以不同的方式吸引学习者，吸引他们的注意力，然后清楚地证明课程内容的相关性和重要性。
eLearning Increases Retention
学生参与如何影响学习？
忘记事情是很自然的，但是当教育投资导致学习者之间的低退休率时，这可能会令人沮丧。幸运的是，研究表明，与电子学习互动的人证明了increased retention rates and better utilization of content, resulting in better achievement of knowledge, skills, and attitudes.6
用于吸引学习者的相同策略（例如测验，民意调查和视频）也可以积极加强课程内容，以显着改善您的培训工作。7当学习者有机会反思他们以前学到的知识时，他们更倾向于长期记住它。
eLearning Compared to Other Learning Methods
E-learning challenges the traditional methods of teaching and learning but does not replace it entirely, which is important to note.
Learners enjoy the ease of use, flexibility, navigation, and user-friendly interface that eLearning provides.9 It has the potential to develop a learner’s critical-thinking and decision-making skills in a more enjoyable way, but should always be used as part of ablended learning approach.
