A Framework for e-Learning In Agricultural Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
Further education and training are very important factors for the agriculture sector. Unfortunately, the lack of time and space has lead to their limited appliance to farmers. Limited financial support and low background knowledge in Information and Communications Technology are two more suspending factors. At the same time rapid technological progress has lead to the implementation of Internet applications which offer e-learning. This paper proposes a framework for applying e-learning to agriculture. It may be applied to three different stages of educational process: (i) platform development, (ii) courses development and delivery, (iii) platform and courses evaluation. The Nielsen Heuristics for system usability, the Technology Acceptance Model for evaluation, and indexes and metrics for system log file analysis are used. The expected benefits of the framework application are the qualitative presentation of educational material, the overcoming of spatial and time restrictions and the continuous evaluation of courses.
