E-learning SWOT Analysis

E-learning Technologies and InfrastructureVideo-conferencing technologyStreaming audio and videoRedundant storage spaceHigh-bandwidth required to broadcast courses over the Web Computer-based-training (CBT) Interactive educational software presented on CDs Allows students to take a self-paced course in any number of subjects Since no downloading is necessary, bandwidth is not a concern with CBT courses.Web-based-training developers must consider that their courses will be used on varying operating systems and platforms Cross-platformProducts are accessible by many different operating systemsAsynchronous coursesCan be taken any time, are self-paced and will not have the benefit of a live instructor Courses must minimize student confusion by providing a basic interface and clear, concise content Students should have the ability to communicate with each other using chat programs and message boards.Storage space is a major concern for e-learning vendors Each course requires a database of information that can be downloaded by the students Audio and video require additional server space Synchronous coursesOccurring in real timeAudio and video with live instructors will require even more resources to ensure that systems function properly when the courses are delivered Learning Management Systems (LMS) A database which can be accessed by employees and students, providing course outlines, explanations, pre-requisite information and courses
