E-LEARNING IN EFL METHODOLOGY EDUCATION: EVALUATION OF LEARNING PERFORMANCE
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2011, Vol 35, Issue 1
Abstract
Distance learning is a phenomenon used in education for many years. E-learning offers a platform that can be very effective, simple to be modified and updated. In addition, it is becoming easier to be administered and more rich and wide in the variety of tools and possibilities. The present study focuses on using e-learning forms in teaching adult students as an alternative to on-campus (face-to-face) programme. It describes not only the results of an experiment run at the university, but also tries to outline several problems that authors of the e-courses face even in case they are skilled, professional experienced textbook writers. The quantitative results of the experiment described in the study created the basis for the comparison of two groups of young adult university students and their verbal responses enabled us to quantitatively evaluate the result of using e-course with the group that is used to take part in face-to face educational programs.
