Investigation the role of online experience in learning (E-Learning) environment a review for researchers

Abstract

E-Learning implementation is an area in progress that continues to evolve with time and further research. Researchers in this field argue that e-Learning is still in its infancy, resulting into numerous implementation technologies across a wide e-Learning spectrum. These technologies include TV, CD ROMs, LMS, CMS, LCMS and virtual world as well as collaborative technologies. This paper provides a general overview of the learning process, evaluates some current implementation trends pointing out a range of frameworks and strategies used in the past decade. It further looks at the changes created by the adoption of e-Learning within the higher education process. This is followed by an identification of emerging issues from which two problems are identified:
1) The limited uptake of technology as an instruction delivery method: and
2) The ineffective use of technology to support learning.
The aim of the paper is primarily a review to inform researches about current work in these different areas.
