ASAD-UZ-ZAMAN ASAD

The term ‘e-Learning’ means ‘electronic Learning’ that encompasses all forms of technology enhanced learning. e-Learning is the use of technology to enable people to learn anytime and anywhere. e-Learning can include training, the delivery of just-in-time information and guidance from experts. These services are delivered, enabled or mediated by ICT (Information & Communication Technology) for the purposes of delivering education.

e-Learning is a catch-all term that covers a wide range of instructional material that can be delivered on a CD-ROM or DVD, over a local area network (LAN), or on the Internet. It includes Computer-Based Training (CBT), Web-Based Training (WBT), Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS), distance or online learning and online tutorials. The major advantage to students is its easy access.

The education sector of Bangladesh has been suffering from many deficiencies including quality teachers, quality content and quality environment. So, at present great challenge faced by Bangladesh is to create a 'Knowledge based Society' and ensure that their citizens are equipped with knowledge and skill of Information & Communication Technology (ICT). There is potential that using ICT in the education sector, the costs can be brought down. It also improves the quality of education and imparts uniformity. If the country wants to enhance the concern over the significance and excellence of education then it is essential to expand educational opportunities to all, including most vulnerable group, like low income and less skilled people, girls and women, children out of school as well as illiterate youths and adults.

GAZI MAHABUBUL ALAM, PhD

Workplace learning is defined as a learning or training undertaken in the workplace, usually on the job, including on-the-job training under normal operational conditions, and on-site training, which is conducted away from the work process (e.g. in a training room).

As can be seen from the key findings, workplace learning should provide the skills leading to the capacity to innovate. Innovation has become a key concept in the ability of firms to be competitive. In the 'ideal' workplace learning situation, a systemic approach involving networks and partnerships is critical.

Effective workplace learning should provide enterprises with the capacity to innovate. It is evidenced that the advent of globalisation of economy has changed the nature of products and services demanded, as well as the technologies and forms of communication required. This has required changes in enterprises and "demands more skilled, dynamic and innovative work" in order for them to be competitive and to stimulate productivity improvements. Workplace change is to be a major driver of training in organisations. In addition, they found that other environmental and moderating factors affect levels of training. Further, the way the drivers and moderating factors interact determines what sort of training would take place in the organisation.
