Features: This book is organized according to these eight dimensions. Chapter 1 introduces e-learning as an open, flexible distributed learning environment; it discusses how to design and implement various e-learning features by considering the important issues of the eight dimensions of the e-learning environment. Each dimension of the e-learning environment is discussed in a dedicated chapter. Chapters 2–9 discuss institutional issues, management issues, technical issues, teaching issues, ethical issues, interface design, resource support, and evaluation issues. The factors discussed in these eight chapters should help readers form a comprehensive understanding of the overall picture of e-learning, while also enabling them to reflect on their own practical activities at various stages of the e-learning process. Within the scope of this book, through the perspective of the e-learning framework model, the author provides detailed analysis of some key issues under each dimension of the e-learning environment as specific examples; these items are not exhaustive. However, under each dimension of the e-learning environment, there are countless important factors or issues that need to be examined. Please note that each e-learning project is unique. The author encourages readers to identify as many relevant issues as possible in their own e-learning projects by using this framework model. One way to identify these important issues is to place each stakeholder at the center of the framework and raise issues related to each party according to the eight dimensions of the e-learning environment. Through this method, you can identify many important issues, which will help create an e-learning environment meaningful to each stakeholder. By considering each stakeholder separately, you can comprehensively list the important issues related to your e-learning project.
