Definitions of E-Learning

E-learning is the use of Internet and

digital technologies to create

experiences that educate our fellow

human beings (Horton, 2001).

Nov. 18, 2005 National Tsing Hua University

Cisco’s definition of E-Learning

“E-learning combines

communication, education,

information, and training and is a

core element of a successful

e-business strategy.

Nov. 18, 2005 National Tsing Hua University

Key Cisco E-Learning Philosophies

•

“E-learning is the online delivery of information,

communication, education, and training.

•

“E-learning provides a new set of tools that can

add value to all the traditional learning

modes-classroom experiences, textbook study,

CD-ROM, and traditional computer based training.

•

Old-world learning models don't scale to meet

the new world learning challenge. E-learning can

provide the tools to meet that challenge.

Nov. 18, 2005 National Tsing Hua University

Key Cisco E-Learning Philosophies

•

E-learning will not replace the classroom setting,

but enhance it, taking advantage of new content

and delivery technologies to enable learning.

•

With e-learning you can empower learners, and the

learner, as well as the mentoring system, is held

accountable.

•

Retention for a learner varies, based on content

type and the delivery vehicle. The better the match

of content and delivery vehicle to a learner's style,

the greater the retention, and therefore the greater

the results.

2. University of Phoenix Online :

Apollo Group, Inc.

a Apollo Group, Inc. was founded in 1973 in response to a gradual shift in higher education demographics from a student population dominated by youth to one in which approximately half the students are adults and over 80 percent of whom work full-time.

a Apollo's founder, John Sperling, believed -- and events proved him right -- that lifelong employment with a single employer would be replaced by lifelong learning and employment with a variety of employers. Lifelong learning requires an institution dedicated solely to the education of working adults.

a Today, Apollo Group, Inc., through its subsidiaries, the University of Phoenix(including University of Phoenix Online), the Institute for Professional Development, the College for Financial Planning, and

Western International University, has established itself as a leading provider of higher education programs for working adults by focusing on servicing the needs of the working adult.
