Internet Based E-learning, Pedagogy and Support Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
The author’s main aim is to identify and discuss the areas of Internet based e-learning that are important in describing the state of the art, specifically related to the need for systems and actions for student support. As a basis for defining the necessary support systems the article presents different theoretical approaches to distance teaching and learning such as student independence and autonomy, industrialization of teaching, guided didactic conversation, continuity of concern for students and cooperative learning and constructivism. The article further discusses the conflict of interest between students who prefer cooperative learning methods and students who both prefer and need a high degree of flexibility to be able to enrol and succeed in e-learning programmes. The article also discusses different models explaining drop out from distance education. High quality distance education systems have traditionally emphasised student support and continuous concern for students from enrolment to completion. It is the author’s view that theory and practices from distance education are valid for e-learning and should be implemented into e-learning practice. Finally, the author presents a theoretical framework for student support services in online distance education with his own institution, NKI, as an example.
