Online Learning: Notes for Achieving Effective Learning Outcomes
Abstract
For successful online learning or e-learning, learners are required to be independent learners. According to Lucy M. and Paul J. Guglielmino (Getting the Most from Online Learning, 2004: 25–27), learners need to ask the following questions: (1) Why should a learner understand why they are learning through e-learning? (2) What do e-learners need to know about self-directed learning? (3) How can e-learners develop their readiness for self-directed learning? (4) What support systems should the learners develop or need?
