E-learning 101 - a very good primer

I blogged recently about how Internet search terms can lead you down some unusual highways and byways.

None more true than today: for some obscure reason I Googled "elearning" + "boat." Now while I'm a pretty good swimmer, but I hail from a land-locked county and never had any affinity for boats and whatnot. (I did watch The Cruel Sea recently, so maybe...). But I digest.

One of the search results was for the veritable How Stuff Works site's How E-learning Works page, and I have to say that it was a good an introduction to e-learning as I've seen (and better than some from people who should know more about the topic).

The article characterizes e-learning under the following topic headings:

  • Introduction to How E-learning Works
  • What is E-learning?
  • Levels of e-learning
  • The Psychology of Learning
  • E-learning and Retention
  • Self-paced
  • Interactive & Motivating E-learning
  • Benefits of E-learning
  • E-learning Tips
  • E-learning and College Courses
  • E-learning Tools

Check out the site for an illuminating ten minutes' reading.
