E-Learning Can Improve Learning

This book explores the hypothesis ‘Can e-learning be used to further improve the learning experience, to better prepare students for work in industry?'' Initially a Survey of Representatives from Industry was conducted. From the responses received, surveys for students and lecturers were then created, to establish their views on whether e-learning was improving the learning experience (in accordance with the expectations of representatives from industry). In the context of this study, the term e- learning refers to the use of an e-learning platform as an enhancement to traditional teaching methods in the form of blended learning. The term industry is used here in a generic sense i.e. a form of employment that will remunerate the employee. The final conclusion is that e-learning blended with traditional teaching methods when used effectively, further improves the learning experience, to better prepare students for work in industry.
