e-learning
e-learning is an approach to facilitate and enhance learning by means of personal computers, CDROMs and the internet. An advantage is seen in the fact that just-in-time learning is possible, courses can be tailored to specific needs and asynchronous learning is possible.
On the practial side e-learning is about organizing the topics to be taught and creating multimedia CDROMS or web sites. An important advantage is generally seen in the fact that hyperlinking is possible and having interactive parts illustrating difficult things or for doing exercices.
