“…Individuals are thought to learn more effectively when they are forced to discover knowledge for themselves rather than when they are instructed (Leidner and Jarvenpaa, 1995;Benbunan-Fich, 2002;Hiltz and Turoff, 2002). When the constructivist model is implemented at the college level it can be advantageous to the learning process.…”

The constructivist learning model applies well to the current emphasis in business schools to have more experiential learning. Students construct their own knowledge, guided by their instructors, and learn how to create and extend mental processes for solutions to problems. Another aspect of current college students is that they want to consume everything from education to music to social interaction via information technology on an "any time/any place" basis. Online course pedagogy meets the structural needs for students to consume academic coursework any time and place while also developing their analytical skills and extending their communication skills.

“…Online learning materials are usually unstructured across different media, without any close associations with the e-learning processes (Zhang & Nunamaker, 2003). Learning material is distributed without consideration for learners' capacities and prior learning, and therefore lacks contextual and adaptive support (Hiltz & Turoff, 2002). 2.…”

“…In many current VLEs, the content materials and choices have been predefined, regardless of the learning process and learner differences. Online learners have little flexibility to adapt the learning content and process to meet their individual needs (Alavi & Leidner, 2001;Hiltz & Turoff, 2002). 3.…”

E-learning has been widely adopted as a promising solution by many organizations to offer learning-on-demand opportunities to individual employees (learners) in order to reduce training time and cost. While successful information systems models have received much attention among researchers, little research has been conducted to assess the success and/or effectiveness of e-learning systems in an organizational context. The development of information technologies has contributed to the growth in online training as an important educational method. The online training environment enables learners to undertake customized training at any time and in any place. Moreover, information technology allows both the trainers and learners to be decoupled in terms of time, place, and space. In this article, dynamic programming is applied to find the shortest path in the learning environment for users and an analytical hierarchy process approach is used to turn the qualitative parameters into quantitative ones.

“…Furthermore, collaborative learning that makes a difference does not need expensive technologies. CSCL does not require the investment in ICT infrastructure of Scenario 6, and can be implemented with simple asynchronous conferencing software (Hazemi & Hailes, 2002;Hiltz & Turoff, 2002).…”

After several years of Internet use in traditional universities, some patterns have emerged, both in the nature of use, and in understanding the conditions associated with successful adoption and application of Web-enhanced learning (WEL). This article summarizes, in the form of nine scenarios, the ways in which the Internet is being used to enhance learning in traditional universities. It also discusses the changes needed if universities are to benefit more widely from WEL.

What makes learning networks effective?

Abstract: Asynchronous Learning Networks are providing a strong online option to the learning process. Effective ALNs promote student-instructor interaction, emphasize student-to-student collaboration, and generate active participation with appropriate software.
