Abstract:

The teaching environment is undergoing a major shift as more and more schools are offering courses either partially or totally online e-Learning (using two-way voice-over IP technology) and self paced e-Learning (computer-based training) are in great demand over c-Learning (traditional classroom instruction) because of economic and other reasons both from instructor and student perspective. The self-paced e-Learning approach does not necessitate changes in pedagogy, educational roles, curricular content and classroom practices only but also need a different framework to support it because power in the classroom is de-centered and e-learning makes a shift from a content-centric model to a rich, personalized, learner-centric model The study presents a technological framework to support learning services using “one-stop” approach. The proposed framework not only support e-learning but also has a capability to support mobile learning (M-learning) as part of a learner-centric model.
