Migrating to e-learning in secondary education

Traditional face-to-face instruction in secondary education has been tested for hundreds of years now and has proven successful, but after the tremendous expansion of computer and internet use in several sectors of our day to day lives, e-Learning has been spreading its wings. In recent years e-Learning has demonstrated through numerous case studies that it can be beneficial either on its own, or combined with traditional methods of teaching. In secondary education in particular, it can undoubtedly offer a much more fruitful experience to the pupils and complement the teacher's traditional instruction methods. Migrating to e- Learning in a secondary education setting influences a number of stakeholders: pupils, teachers, parents and administrators and is thus not something that can be accomplished overnight. Teachers and parents are the primary audience addressed by this set of patterns.
