Models of Large-scale E-learning
نویسنده
چکیده
Early interest in e-learning focused around the possibility of large-scale courses. This led to pronouncements of the demise of the educator, which were based on an infinite lecture hall pedagogy. However, cost-effective models of large-scale e-learning have proven difficult to implement. This paper examines some of the initial reaction to the notion of large-scale courses and sets out the cost difficulties associated with such courses. Five models of large-scale e-learning are proposed. Each of these have implicit associated pedagogies. The majority of these assume instructivist pedagogy. Large-scale models that use a more constructivist pedagogy may be possible using community based approaches. The importance of differentiating between pedagogic styles and scale of implementations is stressed as it highlights the reasoning behind some of the initial claims against e-learning.

Salinity of soil and water is the most important agricultural hazard in arid and semi-aridregions. In saline soils, yield production directly influences by soluble salts in the root zone aswell as by shallow water table depth. The first step for reclamation of such soils is reducingsalinity to optimum level by leaching. The objective of this study was to develop a practicalmodel to estimate wat...

Bimrocks are complex geomaterials that are defined as mixtures of rocks composed of geotechnically significant blocks within a matrix of finer texture. Bimslopes are made from bimrocks and are usually seen in weathered and shallow environments. Some characteristics of blocks affecting the strength of bimrocks include VBP (Volumetric Block Proportion), orientation, and arrangement, which have im...
