Introducing an e-learning website for students following the national curriculum

 

What is e-Learning?

e-Learning is the employment of technology to aid and enhance learning. It can be as simple as High School students watching a video documentary in class or as complex as an entire university course provided online. Introducing e-learning to SriLanka can be challenging at first but the government will take actions to make sure that all students get to partake in e-studies.
e-Learning began decades ago with the introduction of televisions and over-head projectors in classrooms and has advanced to include interactive computer programmes, 3D simulations, video and telephone conferencing and real-time online discussion groups comprised of students from all over the world. As technology advances, so does e-learning, making the possibilities endless.


Benefits

  • Information (such as health and safety) can be kept current by updating the intranet site. Staff can be instructed to update their training as and when the information is updated; with out the need to organize trainers and courses, and find the time for staff to attend them. This is seen as the best way for staff to keep their skills up to date.
  • Enables 'just in time' learning. When employees face new challenges in their day-to-day work, they can immediately access a central training resource to equip them to deal with it, on a situation by situation basis.
  • Staff can train as and when they want to, and can break the course up into section as they see fit (removing the problem of concentration loss).
  • Money is saved by reducing the need to book venues and trainers. Staff are released from their desks for a minimum amount of time.

IT Governance Based On COBIT 05

  Governance and Management The COBIT 5 framework makes a clear distinction between governance and management. These two disciplines encompass different types of activities, require different organisational structures and serve different purposes. The COBIT 5 view on this key distinction between governance and management is: • Governance Governance ensures that stakeholder needs, conditions and options are evaluated to determine balanced, agreed-on enterprise objectives to be achieved; setting direction through prioritisation and decision making; and monitoring performance and compliance against agreed-on direction and objectives.
