Impact and Challenges of E-Learning

As the number of e-learning courses grows at institutions, the academic experience changes for an increasing number of instructors and students. Both groups must adapt as the institutional support processes evolve. Course preparation might entail, for example, learning a new software application to convey a concept more effectively; students may express their learning efforts via text, audio, or video. This creates new challenges that students and instructors must confront and overcome. This chapter depicts e-learning’s impact on instructors and students, as gleaned from the research’s interviews and online survey.
