E - Learning

We had our first E-Learning class last Wednesday which I found very interesting. I learned about the fundamental aspects of what e-learning is:
"The delivery of a learning, training or education program by electronic means.
Distance education provided the base for e-learning's development. E-learning
can be "on demand". It overcomes timing, attendance and travel difficulties."

I also learned of some of the ways e-learning can be implemented :
via cd-rom, internet, mobile devices such as PDA'S, audio, podcasts, mp3, blogs, tv etc.

We then began to design a real life example of an e-learning system. Our project is Coffee Time - Creative Coffee: An e-learning module to aid Baristas from the novice to the advanced.

Thanks for finding the picture and the extra definition. They are very good. The thing I like most about teaching is how much I can learn while doing it:-))

I was just thinking about music and how detached I have become with it. Definitely would love to hear more from you about albums and musicians.

Oh! And if you are into DJing and making music I hope to see on your learning experience some music/ sound effects to re-enforce the message.

When teaching use your talents, everybody loves passion:-))
