Online learning demands the same dedicated student efforts as traditional classroom-based instruction. E-Learning students read course materials, do assignments, conduct research and take exams. But they, as well as the distance learning faculty, use technology to accomplish all these course objectives. So, How Do They Work? Instructor-Led Courses The instructor also posts a short lecture or elaborates on the material,
and provides discussion questions related to the topic. Throughout the
duration of the course, students work on reading and assignments on their
own, just as they would in a traditional classroom setting. Students use
PurpleTrain.com conferencing system to participate in the class discussion
and ask questions/receive feedback. When assignments are due, students
send them to their instructor online. Instructors grade them and sends
them back to students with comments. Collaboration Communication with support and helpdesk Evaluation Call to Action!
