Online Learning

Learning via the Internet understandable, nature and requirements

Universities, schools Virtual Virtual Schools, and chapters Virtual Virtual Classrooms, and this seemed to crystallize the concept of Internet-based learning new model of distance learning and one of the forms of e-learning E-Learning.

The Chairperson of the most important goals of distance learning - in various forms through many centuries - and providing alternative means of education for those students who live in distant places, or turning their attendance without formal education, with effect from the decisions and correspondence via radio, radio and audio conferences and television to education Decisions of multimedia-based computer, and in the end decisions via the Internet.
E-learning is defined as the use of modern technology of the Internet or satellites, radio or television or videos or CDs or video conferences or e-mail or direct dialogue between the parties over the Internet in the educational process, also known as e-learning that some kind of learning depends on the use of computer technology and networks by the learner, which includes those means all new mechanisms of communication, such as: computer networks, multimedia and electronic content and the search engines and electronic libraries and chapters related to the Internet.
In light of the above we can say that e-learning is generally associated with the use of modern computer technology and the Internet to make learning less time and effort and more useful

.
The spread of e-learning rapidly to the extent that some expected to make e-learning would be the best way and most widespread of education and training in the near future, and all this thanks to the many features characteristic of this type of learning. There are three forms of e-learning, I figure: e-learning using the CD-ROM disk, as seen holding eighties use CDs CDs in education, but it lacked the interaction between the article and educated, and given the developments that have occurred have included this pattern later on educational programmes designed intelligent manner, and means a (smart), a two-way interaction between the student and used by, and could adopt this type of education as a complement to traditional teaching methods.
The second form of e-learning Hoaltalm electronic books using electronic  - Books, the book electronic book, or booklet, or any print in general is in the form of electronic, and can be distributed electronically via the Internet, e-mail, direct transfers of files, or transfer any of the media different storage, and will be reading these books on the computer screens of different devices. Having started using e-books in the field of e-learning with the beginning in 2000 in some schools in the United States on a trial basis, with the provision of special equipment electronic books for each student after loading curriculum considerations, as a provision similar to each teacher with a network linking the inside Separation of the Office of the teacher and student offices, at the start of the school day, linking each student using his network inside chapter, and then the teacher will offer commentary via large screen showing existing pages within the electronic book, and the teachers at the end of the lesson Send questions and exercises related to the topic, The students in solving these exercises after their return to their homes, and the following day the teacher answers inform students and attached them and correct

.
The third form of e-learning, e-learning using the Internet or learning based on the use of the Internet. In this type of education is the educational institution design special site and the materials or certain programmes, and allow this type of education for learners from their homes faculty liaison and follow-up lessons and discuss lecturers according to specific timetables, and therefore the content type of education is the decisions made electronically at the site via the Internet.
Despite the fact that many universities still use the method of correspondence and presentation styles based on the video that was used in the past, the current growth the most common and widespread in the field of distance learning based learning on the Internet. Having experienced based learning on the Internet since its inception resistance on the part of a very large majority of students, teachers and administrators; so as to vary from traditional teaching methods familiar in the classroom. Now it has become more appreciative, more intimate for them, it seems to the student a more flexible and appropriate to take decisions over the Internet, and it seems a good start for teachers to start learning on the Internet, and the administrators seem more cost effective.
As a result, at least this type of learning echoed widely by educational institutions, especially those looking for opportunities to teach those students who wish to learn at any place or time, as new educational environment consists of chapters are chapters like traditional walls built of bricks , but is composed of chapters of the other type of software built, and the virtual places where students and the teacher offset interact with each other and participate in the learning experience.
This is a learning-based Internet gateway innovative and new distance learning, where the processes of teaching and learning via the Internet compared to the traditional separation, the following discussion will be based learning on the Internet in detail, in terms of its nature and requirements to be met by elements of the environment:

Learning based on the nature of the Internet:
Definition of Internet-based learning:
Know based learning on the Internet that learning with a whole or in part to the students through the Internet, and the view of the educational standards of Florida (1998) The Florida education standards commission that a service delivery learning via the World Wide Web, where there are students in different places of the world , also knows some learning on the Internet that this type of learning that occurs through the Internet and has links interconnected Hyper links, and the possibility of communication and interaction among its members, or is the use of technology to facilitate access to content to be educated, and mediator of the interaction between student and teacher and all the students, supporting technology contact person for another, and several members of the individual or several individuals and several other individuals, and done simultaneously or concurrently.
Given the previous tariffs, we find that they are almost similar in objective mechanism, which use the Internet to learn the students, where they work as a source of learning, and as an intermediary for the exchange of information, and an interaction between elements, whether or not the elements of human mankind.
It takes learning based on multiple Internet names such as: Online Learning, Online Courses, Web-based Instruction, Web based learning, and those terms refer to miscellaneous certain type of distance learning, where the employment potential of the Internet and include it in the service of teaching and learning processes .
Internet-based learning and traditional education:
The nature-based learning on the Internet when compared to what is happening within the traditional separation, as shown by the presentation through the following points:

-- Interacts students in decisions through the Internet significantly: where students can discuss each other and the teacher a question and receive immediate feedback, and this characteristic is apparently missing dimension in the traditional education today; because of overcrowded classes prepare students and the large burden on the teacher, and other problems affecting education traditional.
-- Students can learn in the environment of Internet-based learning is not only a teacher - as the only source of knowledge - but they can also learn from any individual or another source, and interaction with those sources.
-- Focusing decisions online student lot, unlike conventional decisions that are controlled by the teacher.
-- Contains the traditional model of education was limited to students, where students take responsibility for the acquisition of a small learning experience, either in the learning environment based on Internet student expresses their ideas and opinions through cooperative work.
-- Decision requires the development and application of online time and effort much more compared decision print.
-- Learning on the Internet - in the long run - less expensive compared to traditional education; is a possibility of reducing the cost of one key factors that drive decision-makers to adopt this type of learning, and there are a number of factors that affect the cost of Internet-based learning and effectiveness, may be summed up as follows:
-- The number of students enrolled in each decision.
-- The number of decisions made: Since entrances more cost effective in presenting the decisions of a few to a large number of students.
-- Repeat alterations and the development of the decision.
-- How multimedia used and kind.
-- How the interaction in the decision.
-- How many support for students and kind.
-- Type of educational programmes and plans based learning on the Internet.
-- Choice of simultaneous interaction versus asynchronous interaction.

-- Rate complement each student with the decision and the wastage.
A number of research studies have shown superiority based learning on the Internet to traditional education, as indicated by the results of studies «Ross» (2000) Ross, and «Fox» (2001)    and «Jnarson» (2001) and Gunnarsson «Spencer» (2001) Spencer, and Mohamed Hussein (2002); to higher student achievement who studied decisions via the Internet compared to students who have studied the decisions the same traditional way, while there were studies that proved the contrary examination «Harveyl» (2000) Harvell, and « Craptri »(2001) by Crabtree Touselta to the small number of students who have achieved good results in the achievement in the learning environment based on the Internet compared to traditional classroom education.
Success also depends on learning based on the Internet that there were positive trends in the use of the Internet to learn, and in this connection refers «Damussen» (2003) Damoense that if the trends of students learning about Internet-based positive, they are able to gain knowledge and experience associated with learning cognitive skills, such as: problem-solving skills, decision-making and analysis and critical thinking, as there is a strong relationship between the positive attitudes towards learning on the Internet and the degree of participation in the learning environment, has conducted a number of studies aimed at detecting trends students about learning based on the Internet, and this Studies examine each of the «Hong» (2000) Huang, and «Jenkins» (2000) Jenkins, and «Kurbakak» (2000) Kurubacak, and «The Ilkerson», «Alkins» (2000) & Elkins Wilkerson, and «Chang» Chang (2001), «Alteji» (2001) El-Tigi, and «Jnarson» Gunnarsson (2001), «for Imvirnands» (2001) Lim-Fernandes, and Mustafa Judat (2003), where the results of those studies pointed out that the students they have positive trends towards learning on the Internet, while there were studies that proved trends students to use the Internet in their learning has been a noticeable growth such as a study «Harveyl» (2000) Harvell, Mohamed Hussein (2002).
Advantage based learning on the Internet and disadvantages:
Despite the advantages enjoyed by Internet-based learning, there is some flaws that may make some people reluctant to entry in this type of learning, recall, the following:
-- Privacy and confidentiality: the impact of attacks on Internet sites for educators on the impact on the future of Internet-based learning, and what can happen to penetrate the content of the examinations.
-- Perhaps fail motivation educated earners, or those who have bad habits in the study in this kind of education.
-- May not always be present when the teacher taught the students or need help.
-- Slow Internet connection or the devices is perhaps difficult when entering the articles decision.
-- May seem management files and computer-based learning programmes on the Internet sometimes complicated for students, especially junior them with low computer skills.
 

-- It is difficult to simulates manual work or laboratory in Chapter fraud.
In light of the previously shown that learning based on the nature of the Internet is particularly distinguished from the rest of the other types of learning, particularly the traditional, and that in spite of the efficiency of this type of learning in achieving good results in the collection and direction, there are other indicators indicate that the effectiveness of the development of the same variables ; which makes There is a need to guide scientific research efforts toward further research and studies that seek to uncover the feasibility of Internet-based learning to achieve effective results for the different variables.
Requirements to be met by elements of the learning environment based on Internet:
For the successful learning programmes based on the Internet and its decisions, it must be devoted work carefully by the students, teachers and administrative support team, and by the organizations or educational institutions, and will be discussed through the identification of the requirements that must be met by elements of the learning environment based on the Internet, as follows :
Requirements to be met by students:
If Internet-based learning attracts almost all students; for flexibility, and appropriateness, all students do not have the capabilities and characteristics necessary to qualify them for success in this type of learning, so that the success of student learning based on the Internet requires him:
-- To have sufficient time to participate in a study to be committed to make it more specific timetable for the study.
-- Wish that this type of learning; because some students prefer the traditional model of education.
-- To be conversant with the appropriate culture computer and how to use the Internet.
-- To complete the assignments assigned to the same counterpart in the traditional education and regularly.
-- To have the ability to use some of the most common Internet services, a service how to search for information, service and FTP file transfer, the news service groups, in addition to the email service will be able to send and receive messages

.
Requirements to be met by teachers:
Not every teacher candidates to participate in online teaching; because that requires them available as follows:
-- Understanding of the characteristics and needs of students via the Internet.
-- Focus on the educational content and coverage decision.
-- Adopting methods of teaching students with diverse needs and expectations multiple and different.
-- Culture computer literacy level is higher than that of their students.
-- Spend time in front of a large their own devices; to respond to queries and responses of students (immediate feedback).
-- Familiarity with the problems of computer operating systems and understanding the tools, as well as supply systems used.
-- Enjoy the use of technology in teaching, in addition to the need for the teaching style suits Internet environment.
Some add that the teacher, who is participating in Internet-based learning to do the following roles:
-- Participate in the development decisions in a manner consistent with the requirements of Internet-based learning.
-- Designing and testing different methods of evaluation.
-- Correcting tests and assignments and projects, which sends students to.
-- Guidance and supervision of the scientific and educational.
-- Writing periodic reports and sent to centres University.
Requirements to be met by administrators:
The administrators of the elements influencing the success of Internet-based learning; terms require them to do certain roles that can be summarized as follows:
-- Providing technological facilities broad and comprehensive presentation of the decisions via the Internet.
-- Organizing learning materials and the registration of students.
-- Scheduling decisions, as well as reports of scores.
-- Assist faculty in preparing teaching materials, and management programmes chapters default.
-- The division of students enrolled in decisions over the Internet in groups ranging from 15 - 20 students per teacher to interact with them easily, and gives immediate feedback

.
-- Marketing of those decisions in the world in various media.
Conditions to be met in the decision:
Not all classes can be taught easily or effectively online, Vtdris motor skills in the decision via the Internet - for example - require the use of well-designed simulation models, design models and develop a costly and time-consuming, and some subjects do not appear to be destined significantly learning based on the Internet, such as on social skills such as: management, networking and customer relations .. Etc., as is the interaction modelling human behaviour essence of these skills, and learning those skills be better in an environment where the traditional separation and the teacher played a role, and many depend on the skills of those differences minutes of voice tones and body language that would be difficult to control in the decisions via the Internet. It seems to work well in the decisions through the Internet with academic material, which includes learning concepts and principles, and practice of the discussions, and report writing, and problem-solving.
As for learning that Internet-based obstacles and precautions to prevent the participation of all students, teachers, administrators and decisions, make decisions via the Internet by educational institutions can not succeed if the culture and politics of those institutions was not directed technology.
Clear from the foregoing that Internet-based learning had been imposed on teachers and students, content and administrators of educational institutions and many of the challenges that changed the requirements for the skills of teaching and learning processes and administrative services and educational facilities; In light of these changes is imperative for schools and institutions that tend towards the use of Internet in education that prepares itself for the new tools and skills that correspond to those challenges
