Applications of e-Learning in engineering education

Applications of e-Learning in engineering education

1. E-learning in engineering education

   • software may be used in classrooms for better understanding of the lessons
   • Animations and visualizations can be used to demonstrate
   • Simulation software can be used in network computing laboratory to demonstrate and carryout experiments
   • A typical lecture management system has facilities for content delivery

2. Current practices of ICT and e-learning in engineering education

   • Made available to learners for download or for online study.
   • Learning objects such as simulations, structured lessons, animations, videos
   • Dynamic and interactive learning environments permitting constructive learning
   • Virtual Learning environment
   • Conduct experiment
   • course and class management
   • demonstration and administration

3. Case study

   • Using relevant equipment under supervision of of teacher for teaching and learning purposes
   • Online learning modes was used to collaborate and communicate with students online
   • Established a moderate social media connection with students
   • Internet was used for searching solutions to problems

4. Discussions

   • Implementers to frame ICT and e - learning policy for engineering education
   • ICT and e-learning are implemented in engineering institutions
   • ICT and e-learning can be employed to improve efficiency of engineering education
