what is e-learning??

e-Learning is the use of technology to enable people to learn anytime and anywhere. e-Learning can include training, the delivery of just-in-time information and guidance from experts.

If you could stop time and inexpensively bring together all of the people in your organization who need to learn and the resources to teach them, you would not need e-learning. In the real world, people have jobs to do and budgets are limited. Your learning program will need the power of technology to overcome the limitations of time, distance and resources.

You know that people learn in many different ways and at different times. To support these different learning needs, you will need different e-learning delivery methods. Additionally, you will need a way to develop and manage e-learning.

Reflection about teaching presence

The teacher plays a central role in any learning environment, in e-learning the teacher plays the role of facilitator of learning rather than an instructor who only gives information, they become more a guide. "Teaching presence" is the manner in which you relate to the students. Your teaching presence is your presence in the classroom. Teaching presence is defined as the design, facilitation, and direction of cognitive and social processes for the purpose of realizing personally meaningful and educational worthwhile learning outcomes.

Our goal is to develop tools that are efficient, reliable, and practical in the task of helping teachers both understand and improve their on-line teaching. The tools allow teachers to assess their own postings and serve as valued feedback for reflection and improvement of the teaching function, also the tools can be used for research to test hypothesis or diagnose problems in on-line teaching.

The focus of teaching presence is to increase social presence and student learning.
