What are the main differences in teaching in a traditional classroom to e-learning?

Traditional Courses Online Courses
  • Instructor-focused
  • More “passive” learning
  • Instructors “deliver” knowledge
  • Outgoing, verbal, high-achieving, students participate the most
  • Technology may be used, but is not central to the role of being a learner
  • Various media may be used, but most delivery is by the spoken word, with some written support
  • Learner-focused
  • More “active” learning
  • Instructors “guide” the learners
  • Instructors “model” good learning techniques
  • A much greater percent of students actively participate in discussions
  • Technology helps students explore resources and construct their own meanings
  • Technology may help instructors use multiple forms of media, and reach a wider variety of learning styles
