1. History of e-Learning

• Modern distance education has been around at
  least since Isaac Pitman taught shorthand in
  Great Britain via correspondence in the 1840s (he
  was sending assignments to his students by mail
  and they completed the 'homework' and sent it
  back to him).
• In the early 1920s Sidney Pressey developed a
  machine to provide drill and practice items to
  students in his introductory courses.
• The World War II created an enormous
  instructional problem - thousands of new recruits
  had to be trained rapidly, so the new media
  technology became dominant and widely used. The
  war was the 'business driver'.
• During the 50s Skinner presented the content in
  small, related chunks of information. Skinners
  Programmed Instruction was very popular and at
  this very moment, programmed instruction is
  popular when it comes to (digital) self study
  courses.

1. History of e-Learning

• The introduction of the first personal computer
  (the Altair 880 in 1975) was quickly followed by
  the Apple II and the IBM PC. With the Apple and
  the IBM the computer was reliable enough and was
  used for didactical purposes.
• At the end of the 90s the learning management
  systems (LMS) were used. Some universities
  started to design and develop their own systems
  but most of the educational institutions started
  with systems off the market.One of the key
  players within the educational market was the
  American company Blackboard. This was the first
  moment that teachers were accepting and using
  technology within their own classrooms on a large
  base!
• In October 1999, during a CBT Systems seminar in
  Los Angeles, a strange new word was used for the
  first time in a professional environment
  e-Learning.

2. Characteristics of e-Learning

• Blended learning a combination of the most
  appropriate learning didactical formats, services
  and media formats.
• You can mix the following things
• offline and online activities
• synchronous and asynchronous activities
• different multi media assets
• different didactical interactions
• different ways of delivering the content
• selfstudy and collaborative learning
• formal and informal learning.

3. Didactical models

• We can distinguish 3 main models
  Behaviourism. Cognitivism. Constructivism.
• Behaviourism the focus is on the results of
  learning, not the process itself. A strong
  element of behaviourism is positive and negative
  feedback, which can condition the learner
  (reinforcement). A result of this attitude of
  learning is the de-contextualizing of learning
  content.

3. Didactical models

• Cognitivism The focus is on the way we are
  learning, not only at the outcome of the learning
  process. Techniques like mind mapping are used to
  anchor the information. Techniques like mind
  mapping are used to anchor the information.
• Constructivism Learners construct new ideas,
  structures, models and concepts and connect them
  to their prior knowledge and mental models. These
  instructional experiences must be structured so
  that learners can easily adapt the information.
  The learner plays an active role and learning is
  goal-oriented.
