Scripting Tools and the Design of E-Learning Experiences

Abstract

In recent years, e-learning has experienced a surge in popularity as a teaching method. Digital platforms have revolutionized learning by offering learners a more flexible and accessible educational experience. However, it is crucial to recognize that mere access to online materials does not guarantee effective learning outcomes. The design of online learning experiences plays a pivotal role in engaging learners and facilitating a stimulating and successful educational journey. This chapter commences by introducing the concept of e-learning and tracing its historical evolution. Subsequently, it delves into various critical questions surrounding the advantages and disadvantages of e-learning, as well as the pedagogical approaches employed in this environment. The authors then propose a model based on the three systems of a training module, providing a framework for effective e-learning design. Finally, the chapter concludes by illustrating scripting tools for e-learning, equipping teachers interested in e-learning with invaluable resources for developing their e-learning scenarios.
