an elearning component

From the simplest a traditional face to face
course augmented with email communication between
instructor and students and/or students to
students

To a blended course where traditional learning
activities are moved online (e.g. bulletin board
discussion, simulation, or online test) with a
reduction in face to face contact time.
8
To an online course . . . where all content,
communication, interaction and assessment are
delivered through technology.
