Elements of the e-learning process

E-learning process has several elements to be successful. Some of them are:

1. Motivation:
There are two kinds of motivation; extrinsic motivation and intrinsic motivation. The former means that the learner learns for in order to get grades or jobs for example. However, the latter means that the learner learns because they want to learn and they have interest to learn. Intrinsic motivation is much better than extrinsic motivation.

2. Communication:
It is an important part of learning. The learner has to communicate with the instructor and the other colleagues in order to share information and knowledge.

3. Cooperation:
It requires communication and it is beneficial for the learner since he/she can get experiences from those who he/she cooperate with.

4. Self-Assessment:
It is important for the learner to assess him/her self to see whether he/she actually learned or not.
