Introduction
Technological advances and applications are applied in almost every sector of the economy. Technology can have both positive and negative effects, depending on the situation and ability. Information technology effective online learning is used in learning institutions. This includes the use of various technologies interested to enhance teaching and learning
Enhance learning is achieved through the use of various media, especially visual effects, that help students form a clear image of what is being taught. Information technology - effective online learning integrates audience- facing technology effective learning software, and networks . this white paper looks at aspects of information technology : enabling online learning and the related technologies used
Discussion
Information technology - effective online learning is a product of the development and adoption of technology in the education sector. Traditionally learning has taken place in a physical classroom where teachers and students work together to facilitate the learning process
When practical training was necessary equipment was set up in a separate room ,and the instructor worked together with the students to supplement the skills and knowledge acquired in the practical training physical contact between students and teachers.
Technological advances such as B.streaming videos over the internet eliminate the need to have a classroom as a gathering place. This is because online learning technology has made it possible to easily listen to lectures from anywhere.
Recording what was happening in the lecture room also avoided the problem of having to gather information with other students, as it could be listened to as often as possible at any convenient time ( shelly , cashman and vermaat 2007).
Some technologies include multimedia over the internet. B.using audio streaming, push technology, and data channels to inject information from relevant websites for use in the classroom; audio chat and voice over internet protocol communication , web whiteboard; graphical conference formats; instant messaging for urgent and quick communication,and learning and knowledge objects integrated into the classroom to enhance learning.
there are also wearable and wireless technologies, all of which facilitate the transfer of information from teachers to students. Peer-to-peer file searching is another technology used in online learning.it is very useful for sharing learning objects and learning units.providing a wealth of knowledge for teachers and students.
The availability of various technologies has enhance online learning thought intelligent classrooms interactive communication and collaboration tools such as chat room and electronic forums such as conference calls and email applications.
Online learning has changed peoples perception of learning, with most of them appreciating fact that effective learning does not have to occur in a physical classroom as long as the objective of learning are achieved.
Conclusion
Its is clear that the online learning aspect is a positive steps forward in the education system. Some aspects are better understood in certain mediums than others, so the learning process was greatly facilitated by the use of different technologies that allow for better comprehension.
The applications of online learning technologies in the education sector enhance learning by creating highly innovative and conducive environment that facilitate aspects of learning such as distance learning that were not possible before the introduction of the technology.
The rest is about improving the effectiveness of online learning environment to keep up with evolving learning needs and the pace of changing technology.
