"I never teach my pupils. I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn."
- Albert Einstein -
We can't deny that learning is a never ending process of human live. We will not stop learning until we reach our death. Do you agree with a statement saying that we are happiest and most successful when we learn, develop, and work in ways that make best use of our natural intelligence? I do agree!!
Learning is not limited with activity you are doing at school. It is more than that. I know that everybody hates school, but they don't hate the knowledge they get. Every people hate it when they have to learn something that they don't want to learn, but they will even try their best when they are learning a certain skill or knowledge that they want to master.
The problem is that sometimes they don't know where do they go to learn the skill or knowledge they want to master. They don't have the knowledge source that can help them learn.
Fortunately, technologies has helped us a lot in information. We can acquire some information through browsing through the internet. It is different with the old way of learning where you go to school, listen to a real teacher standing in front of you and read from a real book. When you are reading an article in the internet, or you try to learn a skill by watching a video online, it is called e-learning.
E-learning is a learning that is facilitated by the use of digital tools and content. Typically, it involves some form of interactivity, which may include online interaction between the learner and their teacher or peers. Some varieties of e-learning includes: Virtual classroom, Online learning, Rapid e-learning, Simulation-based, Game-based, Mobile learning, and Learning Management System. Below is a mind map that can help you to know some categories of e-learning.
