What are eLearning education materials?
Here is a list of eLearning educational materials for both students and educators.
- ebooks
eBooks or electronic books are digital textbooks. eBooks are a dynamic and interactive way of learning. They tap words to bring up definitions and pictures of what you’re learning about. eBooks are also easy to carry around. Instead of carrying a bag full of books, it is easier to carry a mobile device that supports all your eBooks. They also allow you to refer to your notes and course materials anytime you want.
eBooks are not just plain reading texts but have tools to help students make and highlight important content. For instance, eBook reading devices have a lot of interactive features such as read-aloud, search option, and page zoom. Instead of perusing the whole book, you can use a search tool to find words and topics you wish to read. With eBooks, you can bookmark pages and chapters. Besides, the online dictionary helps you find the meanings of words quickly when you are studying.
- Online Courses
Traditional lecture-style teaching is excellent when you need in-person learning. But sometimes, having a teacher or trainer in the room isn’t ideal. This is what makes online courses are great – they’re like lectures that you can watch at your own pace, on any device. As a result, you learn at your set and learn at your own pace without pressure. Using online courses also allows a better balance of work and studies. So there is no need to give up anything.
Furthermore, online courses are affordable compared to traditional in-person education. You don’t need extra money to stay on campus. There’s also often a wide range of payment options for online courses that let you pay in installments or per class. This allows for better budget management.
- Educational Websites & Blogs
Websites and blogs are like “online articles.” They act precisely how an article does in a newspaper or magazine. They help educators and students learn about important topics. Online articles also help the student find instant answers. But when researching, ensure to get your information from reputable sources such as educational, government and authority sites.
- Videos
Videos are what we would call “online courses.” Sometimes it can be hard to learn from a whole lecture or video completely. But that’s what makes videos great! They’re like online lectures. They’re usually short and quick. You don’t have to spend all day watching them. You can find good learning videos on youtube, Coursera, Udemy, and the Elearning resource portal
