An effective E-learning framework model - a case study

A case study of designing an effective E-learning framework is presented here which demonstrates how conventional learning methods can be supplemented with e-learning methods, to enhance the efficiency of teaching and learning process. Evolutions are happening in teaching and learning process with introduction of web based learning methods. Some of the problems and limitations reported on e-learning can be overcome by evolving a feedback system and implementing corrective actions. The effectiveness of e-learning systems can be enhanced by collecting and analyzing web usage data by the course administrators which is called web-log mining. The periodic statistics generated by web-log mining show patterns of web site usage. The patterns show the user behavior and needs. In order to get favorable outcome, the web content and layout can be changed which may ultimately lead to fulfilling the learning objectives. By making the web site interactive, the faculty student communication can be made more effective which may promote Active learning. The tools used in this case study for building an e-learning frame work are Google Sites, Google Docs, and Google analytics which are available free.
