E-Learning

1. Overview

The days of traditional classrooms - one teacher, dusty classroom desks, and claustrophobic four-walls are long gone - it"s the era of virtual classrooms. A growing number of schools in the UAE are adopting e-learning platforms, which is helping enhance the quality of student education.

We at Al Kamal American /international school Azra  use them to assign tasks, set collaborative learning experiences, share learning resources, to collect and mark student work and to support game-based learning.

However, one of the most pioneering e-learning platforms the school uses is google classroom , which allows students to attend virtual classes online. These interactive online lessons include screencasts from teachers, multimedia presentations,

The platform also hosts , forums, and web-based documents that ensure students reflect on their learning, all while collaborating with peers and teachers locally and globally.

E-Learning are offered with all work being completed using electronic technologies. Learners access primary content and instruction from an e-learning environment using a variety of tools including, but not limited to, e-mail, google class room , Gizmos , Quizzes , kahoot, quizlet,  text and voice chat, discussion boards, web pages, and multimedia technologies.  Depending on the teaching style of the school and classess and the lesson content, instruction can take place synchronously (all participants in the lesson log in at the same time) or asynchronously (participants log in and participate as their schedule permits), or some combination of the above. Getting Started with E-Learning 

What is E-Learning @ AKAIS-Azra  E-Learning is electronic learning using computerized electronics  for completing online coursework, or lesson and  engage with students to copulate the tasks or homework  internet learning and many others.

Why students find smart learning process helpful

Smart learning and e-books can play a very important role in education in today"s world. My school is implementing smart learning wherever possible.

There may be other definitions, but I define e-learning (also called e-learning or eLearning) as: The delivery of a learning, training or education program by electronic means. E-learning involves the use of a computer or electronic device (e.g. a mobile phone) in some way to provide training, educational or learning material. E-learning can involve a greater variety of equipment than online training or education, for as the name implies, "online" involves using the Internet or an Intranet. CD-ROM and DVD can be used to provide learning materials. Distance education provided the base for e-learning"s development. E-learning can be "on demand". It overcomes timing, attendance and travel difficulties. An e-journey is one type of e-learning or online training. Blended learning is elearning combined with other training methods.

Your eLearning environment or community may include one or more of the following:

• A space where you can collaboratively create, edit, link, and organize the content of a website
• Information and documents that can be downloaded or printed
• Resources for you to use
• An online chat area for you to talk to your teachers and other students
• Online quizzes and tests

Every course is different depending on what tools the teacher is using.

You could be involved in a range of activities including:

• Asking questions and requests for other students/staff to answer in an online session
• Sharing ideas through forums and chat sessions
• Building your own resource
• Uploading work-in-progress to a group site for peer review
