The Effectiveness of e-Learning Process and Design of e-Learning Environments

Abstract

ABSTRACT
Theoretical background of the learning researches is important to illustrate the theories and practices which are effective on achieving the educational objectives. The e-learning still needs the studies to respond for inquiries that face expanding and development of this system globally. For example:(a)
the disagreements of the researches' findings in e-learning effectiveness on the learning domains achievement (Ruth Clarck, 2007/ Thomas Brus & John Saye and others, 2009), (b) looking for defining the e-learning process that attains actual e-learning practices and objectives, (c) necessity to define the formal and constructional characteristics of the e-learning environment (Thomas deVaney,
Nan Adams and Cynthia Elliott, 2008, 165-174). The present research investigates two main concepts. First, the e-learning process that enables learners to practice and achieve high levels of elearning objectives. Second, the formal and constructional characteristics of e-learning environment which direct the educators and designers to develop the effectiveness of e-learning environment. Finally, processing these issues can reinforce the challenges that face the e-learning growth, and clarify the differences and debates that surround the outcomes, certificates and accreditation of the elearning internationally.
