UWC e Learning, Computers and telecommunications are part of our everyday lives. In Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), eLearning is spreading so fast as a workable way of delivering education. Early attempts at using the web as educational application were most often referred to as ‘web based education’ (WBE), ‘web based instruction’ (WBI) or ‘web based learning’ (WBL). In some cases, the termor online learning was adopted. Today, the phenomenon is often referred to as electronic learning, or simply eLearning
eLearning is any learning that is enhanced through access to, and use of technology that can be used to create, distribute and retrieve digital content via various modes of delivery (Desktop computers, Laptops, Mobile phones and Tablets). The Web; Personal Learning Environments (podcasts, vodcasts, screencasts, blogs, digital stories, google applications); Social Media and Learning Management Systems are eTools that enable innovative practices. The users (lecturers and students) should be able to use these eTools effectively to enhance their teaching-and-learning processes.
