   DEFINING EACH LEARNING IN SIMPLER TERMS 

E-LEARNING

E-LEARNING

e-learning is commonly associated with higher education and corporate training, and therefore it encompasses learning at all levels, both formally and informally.e-learning uses an information network—the Internet, an intranet (LAN) or extra-net (WAN)—whether wholly or in part, for course delivery, interaction and/or facilitation. Others prefer the term online learning.

 

 

BLENDED LEARNING

BLENDED LEARNING

blended learning refers to learning models that combine traditional classroom practice with e-learning solutions.For example, students in a traditional class can be assigned both print-based and online materials, have online mentoring sessions with their teacher through chat, and are subscribed to a class email list or a Web-based training course can be enhanced by periodic face-to-face instruction. (Tinio, 2010).

OPEN & DISTANCE LEARNING

OPEN & DISTANCE LEARNING

Open and distance learning is defined by the Commonwealth of Learning as “a way of providing learning opportunities that is characterized by the separation of teacher and learner in time or place, or both time and place; learning that is certified in some way by an institution or agency; the use of a variety of media, including print and electronic; two-way communications that allow learners and tutors to interact; the possibility of occasional face-to-face meetings; and a specialized division of labor in the production and delivery of courses.
