电子学习基础知识
那么，确切的电子学习是什么？
电子学习或电子学习定义为以数字方式交付的任何培训或学习。它通常是在线学习和虚拟学习的代名词。尽管课程已正式化，但学习者可以通过其计算机，平板电脑甚至手机访问材料 - 如果它们连接到Internet，则可以随时随地访问材料。
For educators and employers, it’s an affordable and efficient method of reinforcing key knowledge and skills. For learners, it’s a convenient and interactive way to absorb curriculum material.
研究表明60%通过数字培训可以实现更好的学习一致性。2
电子学习促进学生参与度
电子学习用于指导更进一步的学习经验，使学习者可以自由以自己的步伐前进，同时仍会收到即时反馈。
在典型的讲座课上，仅40％of learners are actively paying attention.3
研究表明，使用电子学习时，学生更有动力。4Students who are more motivated to learn are more likely to be engaged. And, ultimately, this means that they will achieve their learning objectives.5
The increased motivation and engagement stem from the interactive nature of eLearning. Tactics that fuel this interaction include videos, quizzes, simulated cases, polls, and games. Each of these tactics appeal to various learning styles – particularly, visual and aural learners.
E-Learning can help to engage learners differently, grabbing their attention and then clearly demonstrating the relevance and importance of the curriculum content.
电子学习增加保留率
How does student engagement impact learning?
Forgetting things is natural, but it can be frustrating when an educational investment results in a low-retention rate among learners. Fortunately, research shows that those who engage with eLearning demonstrate提高保留率和更好地利用内容，从而更好地实现知识，技能和态度。6
The same tactics used to engage learners (such as quizzes, polls, and videos) can also positively reinforce course content to significantly improve your training efforts.7When learners are afforded the opportunity to reflect on what they’ve previously learned, they are more inclined to remember it long-term.
与其他学习方法相比
电子学习挑战传统的教学方法，但并不能完全取代它，这很重要。
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 a混合学习方法。
