      What it takes to be successful on-line-learning

      Unlike a traditional learning environment, where students and teachers are required to meet together in classrooms on a daily basis, e-learning  offers students and teachers the opportunity to interact in different ways. It is important to know that e-learning does involve a community and collaborative approach.

      You will learn about the ways in which e-learning is different from the traditional environment most students are accustomed to. Along the way, you'll also discover how similar, familiar and comfortable on-line learning can be. Because students and teachers aren't bound by the same space or time, there is significant convenience and flexibility offered to learners.

      What is a Learning Management System ?

      A Learning Management System is a collection of tools that function together as the complete learning environment.

      Moodle is your Learning Management System for this course. It becomes your classroom, your tutorials and your study hall as well as a place to find descriptions of your assignments and activities. Moodle enables interaction with course materials, other students and your teachers.
