Yes, we have the recent large-scale changes to the field of education. And began the labor market, through its needs for new skills and qualifications imposes updated trends and competencies to meet the needs of the new economy. So the curriculum are also subject to re-examination to keep pace with the modern requirements and available techniques, such as e-learning and direct instruction, which depends on the Internet. But the field of e-learning and solutions will not be successful if lacked the key factors of the elements available in the traditional education current, this latter achieves a lot of tasks indirectly or invisible for the passerby who believes that Internet technology ستقلب all balances without access to but the educational process in deep. Where the students time for schools and mass attendance is important instills valuable educational indirectly and reinforces the importance of joint work as a team
And vary the terms of reference institutions e-learning among a variety of services, such as obtaining a master's degree directly online, or certification technical programmers and specialists in the field of Information Technology and other excellent features, where you turn the necessary procedures and the provision of the required standards to put programs recognized for study remote
According to some studies and specialized research, found that 48% of colleges and universities traditional had flung curricula directly on the Internet in the year 1998, while the figure rose to 70% in 2000, and in return there universities do not offer their services and their curricula only via the Internet such as the University of Engel Wood Englewood, Colo Colo and Kabila
It is expected to achieve industry e-learning direct online significant growth from $ 6.3 billion in 2002 to more than $ 23 billion in 2004, and that as shown by studies conducted by a group IDC, a market research, based this on the great development in the sector e-business and the increasing demand for professionals and specialists. For its part, each of Oracle, SAP and other companies producing programs to join this important sector and product design appropriate to it.
Problem of the study
Pass educational institutions currently in the process of radical transformation due to economic pressures and huge costs on the one hand and to the business world on the other hand, the big difference between students who choose to attend schools or distance learning is also a factor that transformation, and despite all that remains colleges and schools to attract numbers of students to Madrjadtha to receive education
I went private education institutions and higher with increasing repeated for students to use the Internet to deliver courses to students in remote locations. And also encouraged the delivery of courses to students on the campus of the institution as well. Some educational institutions that this method and a way to attract students who are not able to come to the university buildings, while other institutes sees as a way to meet the needs of a new quality for students
Yes, I felt education institutions - at the moment - economic pressures so tended to control costs, improve quality, focus directly on customer needs and respond to competitive pressures, where I found that information technology IT Information Technology has the ability to solve most of these problems, they can change the role of the student and the college also, فتيسر and learner-centered, and save money through the process of sophistication to work, and an increased focus on the contents of the curriculum
With the increasing use of modern techniques, accept all of the colleges and students alike changes that have occurred in the education environment. Valorteurat and degrees have become available on the Internet, has been the establishment of schools and universities, libraries, virtual, or can the student presentation, registration and college, and the purchase of reference books and attending lectures of non registration of any visit a virtual university buildings, the number of disciplines and educational programs have been developed so as to be interaction between them and the students This type is called education Computer Aided, some other programs more interactive as it allows students to send their views and comments to arenas debate through web sites and this type is called debate Asynchronous Valmchark in this type reads and comments on the subject under discussion, when given the chance so in his spare time , there is another type of education is the immediate education or simultaneous which uses immediate discussion or chat, there are participants can interact and debate among themselves and at one time and real. Regardless of the method used for education, the transformation must be of the traditional classroom to classroom across cyberspace Cyperspace. This is the future of education is the so-called e-learning, and so this study is trying to answer the following question
What the concept of e-learning
Can this question to ask the following questions
Q 1: What is the concept of e-learning
Q 2: What characteristics of e-education in the community
Q 3: What are the benefits of e-learning
Q 4: What barriers to e-learning
The importance of the study
The aim of this study was to investigate the concept of e-learning as well as the characteristics of the society in the age of cyberspace and then addressing the benefits of e-learning
The limits of the study
Because the elements of e-learning too many, so this study will be limited to answering the following questions without addressing the design of e-learning standards or future or properties or e-learning courses
First: the concept of e-learning
E-Learning is a way to teach using communication mechanisms of modern computers and networks, and Saúth multiple voice and image, graphics, and search mechanisms, and electronic libraries, as well as Internet portals, whether remotely or in the classroom is important is intended to use technology of all kinds in the delivery of information to the learner shortest time and with less effort and more useful
And distance learning are part derived from the study of electronic In both cases, the learner receives information from a place far from the teacher (source of information), and when we talk about the study of electronic not necessarily talking about education immediate simultaneous (online learning), but may be e-learning is simultaneously. Education default: is to learn useful from remote locations not bounded by time nor place by the Internet and technology
Direct e-learning
The term e-learning direct style and learning techniques based on the Internet to connect and share lessons and research topics between the learner and the teacher, and the e-learning concept enters a lot of techniques and methods, has witnessed the eighties adopt CD-ROM's for education but drawback was clear a lack of feature interaction between Article The teacher and the learner or the recipient, and then came the spread of Internet justification for the adoption of e-learning direct on the Internet, so as to simulate the effectiveness of teaching methods realism, come touches and humanitarian aspects through direct interaction between the parties to the educational process and must distinguish completely between teaching techniques and just e-mail contact, for example, and we will corporate training and education in schools and universities to discern the effectiveness of this new method, which his campaign Internet to us
Realism in Education
Lack of aspects of realism in the process of e-learning direct main disadvantages of this method in the education needs in some cases touches humanity between the learner and the teacher, and singled here talking categories that futile where e-learning direct and now we find it targets high school students mainly then university students and other professions such as doctors and engineers in one way or another institutional training received by workers and technicians in the institutions and large companies of different fields
There educational materials suitable for e-learning direct and verify the effectiveness of large, for example, I can explain to you at length about the phenomenon of scientific natural but a school trip or go to the lab and watch this phenomenon directly to sing all the effort that can be our education system direct electronic to explain this phenomenon , any substance that e-learning direct must be suitable to him and appropriate to his style, so we can say with confidence that it can adopt online training direct successful complement to teaching methods basic educational and will develop the resources available to students to be trained in the use of technology to improve learning and finding schools more flexible and increase interaction Parents of students in the educational process as well to increase the access of students and provide them with technical and expand professional development opportunities for teachers and technology that can enhance the capabilities of students, teachers and educators
Some educators and experts to direct e-learning or education depending on the computer will deliver a resistance hinder success if prejudice the conduct of the current educational process, or current threatens the edges of being sometimes depends on radical solutions in its implementation
E-learning-based computer
Still e-learning-based computer CBT Computer-Based Training approach synonymous with basic education traditional and could be adopted in complementary teaching methods usual and generally we adopt methods and techniques many within the plan education and comprehensive training based on a range of styles and techniques, for example, if it was difficult to broadcast video educational online there is no objection from the submitted on CDs or video tapes VHS as long as it contributes to raising the quality and level of training, education and prevents bottlenecks Capacity wave on the network and requires e-learning hand basic justify adoption and investment a vision window to abide by the long-term in order to avoid obstacles and difficulties in information technology and resistance and aversion educated him, and I remember here say a my teachers is a seasoned in education and educational guidance as he told me recently that he was estranged from the computer and talk about the large number of what he heard from exaggerations around that mind-mail smartphone that will control the world but realized that the computer is nothing more than a stupid and just a machine depends intelligence limited to the user and his proficiency in establishing programs smart and effective makes user benefit rather than benefit is consumed his time and effort in vain and lies in saying this axis success of e-learning, which depends on the development and selection of the education system appropriate e in terms of meeting the requirements of education Kalthaddat continued to keep abreast of developments and taking into account the standards and controls in the education system chosen to ensure the level of development of the learner and achieve goals educational as information technology is not a goal or an end in itself but rather a means to connect the knowledge and purposes known teaching and education, including making the learner ready to meet the requirements of practical life in all its facets, which has come to rely more or less on information technology and the rapidly changing nature
Second: the characteristics of education in the information society
Cyberspace is the concept of space where words and human relationships, data, and power show by people who use Computer Technology intermediary for communication, the virtual communities: they cultural groups arise at the confluence of a group of people with each other in cyberspace clearly and simply, in the past, the concepts of discrimination or differentiation and organic factors are closely related to the development of communities, people who are involved in hobbies certain form communities in order to continue their hobbies that differentiate them from the rest of the communities, as well as the communities characterized communities generally characterized on the basis of where city is small, village and around constitute society and so on. With the advent of electronic communication and virtual reality, it became difficult to determine what is meant by community, communities wove different types and characteristics of variety, so it was to enter into the world of virtual communities and the ability to remote training requires different processes quite difficult accomplished by certain persons. Range that is used when people Computer intermediary for communication for teaching new people to re-education or their hobbies or attract them and join them to groups or sects and communities in which they work, those are the key issues to build a society in Computer where an intermediary, and therefore some researchers gave another term to the individual in virtual community, a personal electronic (when a person works on the computer with other people). In this episode we will address the most important artistic techniques that must be taken into account when training in the virtual community
Terms education space in the community
1 the ability to continue the dialogue procedure for the preparation of answers
2 Create a form of privacy in the language space for people from one place it is connected as well as the establishment of an internal sense has privacy
3 the ability to search in the emotional topics in text format.
4 the ability to create an image of thought colleague contrast in the communication process
5 the ability to create a sense of immediate presence during the communication process
If environment is electronic allows the trainee emergence personality electronic, people introverts are more suitable for teaching in virtual environments, it is encouraging for people introverts that take plenty of time to think about the subject matter before answering it, but for the people are open or social interaction in their environment becomes difficult but not impossible, because the interaction is their presence among others, so choice of better education is education in the atmosphere lively and this gives them the ability to better performance and then get better results, while introverts Vanjazhm be the best in the tranquil atmosphere or virtual environments so they do not find it difficult to join to virtual environments unlike social people who want always in noisy social environments
The key question is whether communities can build instant collections incomplete education is to meet groups and face-to-face
Despite the importance of meeting face to face in some respects scientific, but this meeting is appropriate to change the composition of groups immediate ongoing, it is possible to find a train without this type of connection. Through discussion boards and chat rooms and other where he will meet the participants and deliver their ideas and their opinions and suggestions and comments on the goals, ethics, obstacles, communication styles, these are the principles in the communities meet face to face and this thing is happening in e-communities
The basic steps that must be taken into account when education in virtual communities
1 clear definition of the objectives of the group
2 Create a great location for the group
3 Appointment of an effective leader of the group
4 define the principles and behavior
5 Allow organize member roles
6 allowing the facility for sub-groups
7 to allow members to resolve their disputes
These steps may work promotes and encourages communication center members
Conflict in virtual communities
Characterized the transformations that have occurred in large communities as quickly leading to the difficulty of identifying label society, societies today are formed around issues of identity and common principles and not on the basis of geographical location. In this society can be defined as an integrated unit continuously arise at the confluence of a number of people in shared interests. When people meet around common goals in order to work on the delivery and development of the principles of behavioral, spoke disputes between members during the discussion space on the topics to achieve those goals, and therefore groups must continue to talk and not to stop in order to accomplish tasks as a team. And when you try to avoid conflicts may lead to the disintegration of the group, conflicts essential phase must work through in order to reach the completion stage, has been proved by many studies that working in groups is quite similar to instant groups working face to face
Can a conflict in e-communities more traditional societies, due to the lack of debaters face to face and not being able to interact verbally, which could lead to lead to misunderstandings, then the difficulty of emotional expression through text, so possibility of solving tendencies are larger than through electronic means
Principles and procedures to resolve tendencies in education in virtual communities and educational immediate
Work through conflicts help create continues strong among the members of the group and lead to positive results, and educational communities instant will contribute tendencies in creating a kind of cohesion among members but also contribute to the quality of the results of the educational process, so فالأستاذ in environment education instant must be comfortable in the event of any dispute. It is worth mentioning here the important point is that there is a danger when the professor can not resolve the dispute in electronic communities, Vvhalh influence or support in resolving the dispute could lead to the destruction of the educational process and even reluctance and warned by the participating students
Accordingly we can say that he must draw attention in distance education to develop a sense of unity within the group of participants and to the success of scientific education, community education is the tool that occur educational process instant of which, Members are dependent on each other to accomplish the desired results of the curriculum, for example, When goes into (enter), one of the participants in the scheduled site does not happen there any kind of interaction for several days, this thing leads to frustration and discouragement
The new model is a professor who gives a sense of independence and entrepreneurial spirit, creativity and that during the dialogue, participation and encouragement to ask questions.
Interaction in the virtual learning process
In traditional education students see each other, and know each other a good knowledge of the educational process, but the question how do we make all this acquaintance and interaction occurs when contact is limited to text or audio through the computer screen? The fact can not happen immediately, but it can facilitate such a way one can develop a discussion of mutual guidance regardless of how the partnership between the groups with each other, and be the beginning of the curriculum send messages welcoming and tariff and this thing is useful to start dating default, فالأستاذ in This type of education must be flexible subtracting its agenda and programs so that the educational process and then allow students to perform their own programs according to their own needs. This means that the debate may come not feel full professor satisfaction because full and absolute freedom of the student and the difficulty of controlling the discussion rooms, but which currency can guide the discussion in another direction serves the educational process in a proper way
The learning environment in the virtual community you need to a specific area of the issues of personal education immediate, and this thing can be done and follow-up throughout the study period, and this space if you do arise may lead some students to search for other ways, such as using e-mail to ask guardians personal, and feeling some loneliness and isolation when lose this space, which leads to feelings not gratification and a sense that the educational process does not meet their needs, so we must prepare this space in the e-learning environment
