This study was aimed to investigate the advantages and disadvantages of the e-learning system and distinguish the concepts of e-learning and distance education. The study population included 40 managers from five contact centers, 20 of which comprised a control group that did not undergo specialized training. The companies under consideration were representatives of the Russian domestic market and did not operate abroad. As a result of the experiment, the average number of sales of managers who underwent training increased by 20% in relation to the previous period. In the control group, the number of sales remained the same. In this regard, the introduction of gamification in particular, and e-learning as a whole, can be deemed a useful strategy to improve organizational activity not only in big companies but also in SMEs. Moreover, taking into account the lower cost of online education compared to traditional learning courses, web-based training remains an excellent alternative for SMEs since expenses on its implementation will be fully paid off by the received profit.

To cope with the increasing trend of learning demand and limited resources, most universities are taking advantage of Web-based technology for their distance education or e-learning (Montelpare & Williams, 2000). One of the reasons is due to the significant price drop of personal computers in recent decades; the Internet and multimedia have penetrated into most households. Moreover, most students prefer to learn from an interactive environment through a self-paced style. Under the Web-based learning model, students can learn anytime, anywhere because they are not required to go to school on schedule (Appelt, 1997). Meanwhile, universities also enjoy the economic benefit due to the large student base that can share the development cost of course materials and other operational expenses. Gradually, more and more universities follow this similar way to provide online education.

Development Approach

Students now use not only computers or laptops, but also small devices such as mobile phones. The students at higher education institutions spent a lot of time on the internet to find the course materials. Sometimes the teacher sends the materials, but the students who are willing to take a specific course of a semester cannot get a brief concept of the course on before starting the semester. There is now a lot of online education systems on the Internet, but few are a single page and responsive. The purpose of this research is to develop a single page, responsive and web-based e-learning system. The method used in this research is the Rapid Application Development approach which has six stages of the development process, namely Planning, Analysis, Design, Implementation, Testing, and Maintenance. This research was conducted in the Faculty of Technology and Vocational Education, Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia. The students and teachers from the Department of Mechanical Engineering Education participated in this research. The results of this research indicate that with fully functional live chat, the OpenCourseWare system has a high usability test score, highly responsive and awesome features. The OpenCourseWare system is responsive and ajax-based mobile-friendly system that can be used by higher education institutions as an e-learning system based on the results obtained.

Faculty Transition

Institutions struggle to develop online curriculum that meets increasing student demands for online education. The explosive growth of online learning necessitates that many higher education faculty transition from a traditional classroom to a web-based format, sometimes with little or no training. This chapter describes a holistic online faculty professional development (PD) model developed through use of a concerns-based adoption model (CBAM). The CBAM model provides an affective and behavioral lens for managing change. Through two of CBAM's components called stages of concern and levels of use, a PD plan was constructed that approaches the transition to distance learning as an ongoing process rather than simply as technology training. The holistic PD model considers each faculty member as an individual with unique needs. Components of the PD model and new Center for E-Learning (CeL) development and program building are explained. Impact on faculty and students and recommendations for program planning and future research are included.

This study combined ideas from learning hierarchy and scaffolding theory to design a webbased, adaptive learning system to investigate the effectiveness of scaffolding for elementary school students having different levels of learning achievement. The topic chosen for learning was the Three States of Water. A quasi-experiment was conducted. In this experiment, students were divided into three groups: control group (without scaffolds), experimental group A (scaffolds providing by on-line conversation) and experimental group B (scaffolds providing by face-to-face conversation). The experimental results showed significant improvement for students after they had studied using the web-based, adaptive learning system. Specifically, scaffolds in the form of face-to-face conversations greatly enhanced the learning of high-achievement students. However, there were no significant differences between the low-achievement students with or without the provision of scaffolds. It was also discovered that the web-based, adaptive learning system could help students develop their learning responsibility.

Evolution of new technologies introduces new methods by which students can gain knowledge and professors can impart it. Each learning method offers its own distinctive advantages and disadvantages which affect students having different learning preferences and temperaments in different ways. The study aims to investigate student's attitude towards two modes of learning, namely traditional learning and e-learning and uncover the underlying factor structure governing student appraisal of such systems. The aspects of each type of learning that are attractive to students are shown. Further, the two modes of learning are compared using different statistical techniques, and the findings are used to decide whether a mixture of traditional and e-learning is indeed the way ahead.

Existing virtual learning environments (VLEs) in educational institutions are not designed with the expectation that students with disabilities will use them. Consequently, retrieving relevant information by some students with disabilities is a challenging task. The focus of this study was to propose the design of VLEs to incorporate ontologies that facilitate information retrieval by students with disabilities in their learning, thus serving as a semantic web-based assistive technology in education. An Ontology-Driven Disability-Aware Personalised E-Learning System (ONTODAPS) was designed and then used to recommend specific learning materials to learners based on their learning goal and disability type. Preliminary results of the evaluation of ONTODAPS, by 30 students with disabilities, indicate that 70% of the participants found ONTODAPS to offer a better personalisation, better access to learning materials (68%) and is easier to use (63%) in retrieving learning materials than Sakai. Thus ONTODAPS serves as an assistive tool in their education through retrieval of relevant learning materials in a suitable format which is compatible with their disability.

In this study, the learning package of data analysis by using graphing paper to attain linear relationship between independent and dependent variables was invented and utilized. The learning package, consisting of contents and answer key video made from Power Point was converted to video format. The samples were 58 students of Bachelor of Science program who were selected by multi-stage sampling and divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group composed of 29 students, learnt by using e-learning via LMS Moodle at RMUTP website. The control group, 29 students, was performed by a conventional technique through multimedia teaching with PowerPoint. The research tools consisted of the lesson of graphical analysis, the questionnaire for quality evaluation of the lesson and the achievement evaluation. The results were found that the quality of research tools was very good and the average value of learning achievement of the experimental group was higher than the control group, no significant statistic at level of 0.05 by comparing with statistical method of t-test (n=29). It indicated that e-learning system can be used as a practical tool for increasing skill of the samples as well as correspondence between them in classroom.
