Conclusion
From the Paper
"The concept of e-learning has been around for decades, although only recent has it taken the spotlight (Broadbent, 2002, p. 42). E-learning is basically described as training that is executed through a network, usually over the Internet or a company intranet. In recent years, e-learning has evolved into an increasingly popular tool that is used in both the business and academic worlds. Courses online, interaction with fellow students and instructors, and access to research libraries are just some of the capabilities that are emerging (Rosenberg, 2002, p. 39)."
E-learning has a variety of uses. Companies can use e-learning solutions to train new employees to use their software or learn about their products. In the new era of globalization, companies need not worry about distance barriers, as employees around the world can use e-learning solutions. Universities are also using e-learning solutions that enable students to take classes from home on a variety of subjects. In many academic institutions today, students are earning their degrees online."

Abstract
Developments in information technology are constant, and their applications are ever-changing. Since the Internet?s inception, continual advancements have altered the way in which people live, work, and communicate. One of the most up and coming trends in the field is instruction and learning through electronic means, e-learning. It is infiltrating business, as well as educational environments. The core of educational learning has traditionally been focused around a classroom setting. With the utilization of e-learning, that is changing. Classes and entire degree programs are now being offered online without the need for physical meetings or a central location. E-learning is altering informational exchange among students and between teachers and students. This paper first uncovers the ways in which businesses have been utilizing e-learning thus far. Like all aspects of IT, e-learning faces potential problems. Basic guidelines for proper e-learning implementation, learned from successful and unsuccessful programs, are then presented. Next, primary, secondary, and higher educational centers usage of e-learning is examined. It concludes with a discussion of the business of e-learning, aside from corporate training and education.
From the Paper
"While corporate America and American universities increase the market for e-learning, other potential business opportunities exist throughout the world. Many overseas markets remain virtually untapped. As many businesses have begun sending workers overseas as a result of corporate globalization, the need to find a platform on which to train them has been a boost to the e-learning market. Click2learn was one of the first companies to break into the market overseas by signing and agreement with CSS Group, a Russian technology distributor, to bring Click2learn?s e-learning platform into the Russian market. This provides a significant advantage and cost savings to the Russian companies by allowing them to skip all of the previous training technologies and move straight into the more advanced e-learning market."

Abstract
This paper explores Online and e-learning programs as a popular educational alternative. These can be offered as supplemental to traditional learning institutions or used as surrogates; accredited online learning courses appeal to the busy schedules of adults and are increasingly preferred among younger students as they transfer their familiarity of the online setting to their overall academic experiences.
From the Paper
"Online education has become the single fastest-growing area of modern American education. The United States Distance Learning Association (USDLA) indicates that distance learning is increasingly used as an option at all levels of education, suggesting that the use of e-learning can help supplement educational shortcomings for students in Kindergarten through past-secondary graduate programs and the retraining of workers after job loss (USDLA, 2006). Statement of Problem The increase in distance learning and the interest in using distance learning as a supplement or surrogate to traditional in-classroom education indicates a need to recognize whether distance learning is effective. However, the concept of "effectiveness" is a blanket..."

Online and E-Learning, 2006.
This paper provides a literature review examining the effectiveness of online and e-learning.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 1 source, AU$ 38.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper uses the following hypothesis as a means of identifying and testing the current research effort: If online learning is effective then it is anticipated that there will be corresponding improvements in student performance. This study therefore seeks to investigate the literature on online learning and develop a profile of the conditions under which it is most effective and extrapolate these conditions to determine whether online and e-learning are universally effective or whether these methods of teaching are effective only when subjective conditions are appropriate.
From the Paper
"The nature of e-learning, or distance learning, is extremely complex and is subject to multiple forms of clarification and discussion. The measure of effectiveness in such a context is an even more difficult proposition, as it indicates that certain known factors can be constructed in a setting that helps to further classify the overall "effectiveness" of a given research effort."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In deciding on a methodology, the researcher would do well to consider that ?the objective of most clinical studies is to determine one of the following--prevalence, incidence, cause, prognosis, or effect of treatment; it is therefore useful to remember which type of study is most commonly associated with each objective? (Mann, 2003, p. 54). If the purpose of the study is to isolate cause for behavior change, a single-case research design is suggested (Barlow and Hersen, 1984, cited in Foster et al, 2002). A simple study design for determining change in behavior is referred to as the ?A-B design? where a baseline period is used as a ?control? and is compared with a ?B? phase where the dependent variable is in force."

Abstract
The writer of this paper explores the effectiveness as well as the development of the m-learning system. The m-learning project is 64 million Euro, three year, pan-European research and development program supported by the European Commission's Information Society Technologies program. The main distinction between electronic (e)-learning and m-learning is one of accessibility, affordability and portability. The m-learning project has demonstrated that this method of learning can be used as more than just a personal enhancement tool. This paper details how competitive and collaborative learning activities can be activated when conducted with a media board. This paper also discusses the downside of this new technology. According to experts, before the full potential of m-learning's rich content can be realized, the limited memory of mobile devices must be addressed.

Abstract
This paper defines e-training, or e-learning, as the delivery of information by means of electronic media by making use of various techniques such as the Internet, intranet, extranet, Ethernet, teleconferencing or audio conferencing, video conferencing, cable networks, broadcast by satellites, interactive television, and CD-ROM. Furthermore, e-training also can be defined as an extension in learning by means of technological networks, which are designed to deliver and administer information. The author, after an extensive review of research methodology, selects a quantitative data collection instrument, a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale. The paper relates that, in spite of the fact that e-training is renowned in the world as the best tool for training organizational employees in a very short span of time with much less cost than incurred before, the employees in this study are skeptical about e-training?s overall effectiveness.

Abstract
This paper explains that e-learning studies show that the web has tremendous potential for assisting students not only in learning, but also in acquiring new skills to use in their learning. The paper points out that the main philosophical objective in integrating web-based e-learning techniques into curricula is to help the student achieve a deep-level learning experience as opposed to surface-level learning. The author refers to the ?Bloom?s Taxonomy?, which places the focus on a hierarchy of understanding by highlighting the student?s demonstration of the following: Knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation.
From the Paper
"This e-learning research project was carried out using over 1,500 students and 75 staff members from 14 history departments across the UK; Design, English, Health and Religious Studies departments were also part of the study. The project evaluated twelve history ?tutorials? given to students (phase one), and also involved the development of Web sites specific to the learning modules (phase two). In the Web sites, there were to be found helpdesks, course news items, bulletin boards, and other support materials. The project?s intentions were to create a ?holistic learning experience? through the promotion of ?co-operation, engagement and involvement.? Why was this particular e-learning process created? According to Dr. Hall?s report, ?Conventional approaches to teaching and learning do not meet all of the needs and aspirations of an increasingly diverse group of students.? "

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The emergence of computers decades ago gave rise to a lot of improvements in man's daily work and activities. The different businesses and industries were brought with technologies that were born out of a computer's capabilities. This includes the diverse kind of software that automates the used-to-be manual and paper-based tasks in the office. Also, it includes the different hardware that are usually used as alternatives to the jobs humans can perform.
One area where computers perhaps have great impact in the manner and style of learning that the previous generations have is the area of education. Nowadays, almost all educational institutions utilize computers as part of their learning tools and sources. This is becoming a trend because of a computer's capability to rapidly provide information, as well as store them without the need to use traditional learning materials like pen, paper, chalk, and board. Moreover, computers provide a better way of presenting learning materials with the help of diverse software that are available in the market. Thus, increasing students' interest to learn and allowing them to easily absorb information and knowledge."

E. E. Cummings' "Advice", 2007.
An analysis of the persuasive technique of E. E. Cummings' "A Poet's Advice to Students".
2,410 words (approx. 9.6 pages), 6 sources, MLA, AU$ 107.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how E. E. Cummings, in his essay "A Poet's Advice to Students", advises that the best way to write poetry is to be a poet, and how his most persuasive explanation of what it is to be a poet is his explanation itself. The paper looks at how the perpetual enactment of Cummings' own demonstration of 'pistis' utilizes complex rhetorical strategies, which are artfully veiled by simple words and appealing rhythm to make his 'feeling' accessible to the reader. The paper asserts that, while Cummings' words are characteristically his own, their seeming simplicity echoes Aristotle's observation that the most persuasive art is the appearance of artlessness.
From the Paper
"The title functions to both introduce the ethos, or character, of the speaker and establish the kairos, or occasion, of the text's reception. Ethos refers specifically to the character of the speaker as presented in the text, intended to establish the trustworthiness of the argument's presenter. Here, the title positions the speaker as a 'poet', who is therefore qualified to offer the instruction to follow. By prefacing the text as the 'advice' of an established poet to 'students', the title also serves to construct its own kairos by positioning the reader as one who may be educated by that which is explained. Thus, the title itself performs the rhetorical function of establishing the speaker's trustworthiness while simultaneously engendering receptiveness in the reader. "
