Virtual learning environment

Technology has become a significant part of our everyday lives. It is plays an essential role in today’s learning environment, and has drastically changed the face of education, and the way teachers and students go about their daily activities. Technology can be viewed as anything that is created to help adapt to the world’s changes. In the past, teaching daily lessons was simply reading directly from a textbook. Teachers engaged students to learn visually by using chalkboards and overhead projectors

In order to analyze student participation they "presented an 8 week course on web-based distance learning to Masters students on a computer-integrated education course at the University of Pretoria" (Nagel et. al., 2007, p.41). Matriculated in this course were students from a diverse background and different age groups ranging from 30 to 50 years old

Traditionally, the majority of a student’s learning occurred within a classroom, with a lecturer present to deliver the course content and actively engage the learning process through a series of interactions and discussions. However, the drive to provide high quality teaching – whereby a set of pedagogical techniques are applied to produce learning outcome for students- has facilitated the evolvement of learning environments to produce better-adapted environments that are able to support and meet the

technology-based education. It is also a great misconception about this model of learning. Online education is on the rise as noted by the authors of Disrupting Class when they project that 50% of all high school courses will be online by 2019, and 80% by 2024 (Christensen 98). It cannot be ignored. Some parents and educators dislike this move away from the traditional classroom and feel the need to choose one learning model over the other. They fail to recognize that there is another choice – the

Distance Education The American Education System over the years is developing a new way of schooling. Many colleges are resorting to this type of learning which is called Distance Education. Distance Education is possible through the new advancements and technologies of computers. This new ideal learning has beneficial and negatives attributes, raises the differences between teaching in a classroom verses distance education, key players that are involved and schools who are offering this

Creating an inclusive learning environment is an extremely important aspect of modern education, which, according to Gravells (2008: p18), ensures that “[…] all learners are entitled to be treated with respect and dignity. Everyone is an individual, with different experiences, abilities and needs.” She also offers a brief explanation of inclusivity (2008: p18), which is “[…] involving all learners in relevant activities rather than excluding them for any reason directly or indirectly.” Inclusion

Throughout the past decade, technology has advanced swiftly and significantly. The effects of such advancements can be seen from the way that people keep in touch through social media, to the way that people check out their groceries through self-checkout lanes. It is only natural that the spread of technology would eventually reach the educational level. To keep up with the changing times, online schooling institutions have entered the educational arena. These institutions have produced many bright

Enclosed in this essay is a 2013-2016 long-range technology plan that extends beyond the number of computers, wireless access areas, and network servers. The plan serves as a way to infuse technology into the everyday classroom, improve student engagements and enhance strategies for instruction. The Technology plan includes a background, curriculum ad technology, the latitude to learn and learning technology goals, objectives

better because it helps kids learn social survival skills, have a better working environment, and work more efficiently. First, there is the fact that schools can only teach so many classes. This is becoming more distinct to many students across America, as budget cuts have eliminated some classes from a student’s choices. Having school online could solve that problem, as Andrew Wyrich wrote in the article, “Making a Virtual School Day Count.” Although this is true, there are other skills students
