Implementation of an E-Learning Module in Learning Training Platforms

Abstract

E-learning is seeing a significant rise in terms of use in initial or continuing education. At first glance, it seems necessary for the authors to take an interest in the different definitions proposed for this term, although this does not necessarily lead to a consensus in the existing literature. E-learning addressed by this chapter will answer the frequently asked question, “What is e-learning?” This chapter is also intended to provide an overview of current standardization efforts that ensure the transferability of educational resources and the interoperability of virtual training environments. Hence, to highlight the issues and concerns relating to e-learning standards and requirements, the authors present the different standardization approaches adopted at the economic, technical, and educational levels. E-learning from a pedagogical point of view is included in the last part of this chapter.
