E-learning, blended-learning, mobile-learning, rapid-learning, how to navigate?


These somewhat barbaric terms hide a rather simple distinction. E-learning refers to any training device that uses the internet to broadcast, interact or communicate.

Blended learning describes a device that combines classroom learning and online learning. The goal of new technologies is then to complete the classroom, not replace it.

Finally, mobile learning involves learning on a smartphone.

Have new technologies changed teaching?


Of course, the habits of the students have changed, they are very connected and always have their smartphone at hand. They are neither worse nor better than before, they are simply different from the students of twenty years ago.

Given this fact, it is essential to adapt the way we teach. All students may have access to online media, accessible from their smartphone, as well as thematic quizzes to train. This allows them to revise differently.

Variation of media facilitates memorial anchoring: when information is seen through different media, the neural paths that lead to it are strengthened, and the information becomes easier to recover.

The quizzes allow them to learn while being active. The worst enemy of learning is passivity. Passively reading and re-reading your lesson is useless, while testing yourself is the best way to remember.

Is e-learning effective?


The scientific literature is clear: e-learning is a real interest for students. Nevertheless, the conditions in which it is proposed must be observed.

The student must be accompanied, which is why all online courses offer support (sponsorship, methodological support or white competitions in the premises).

A good e-learning device must also allow the student to interact with his peers. This is why there are forums, on which the students can answer each other. A subject specialist supervises the answers that are given and provides details. In this way, a true community is created and helps each other at a distance.

Protection of Personal Data in the Information System

Image
Protection of personal data is sometimes seen as a constraint on an organization, but also as a reserved area for a well-identified member of the legal services or the information systems directorate to ensure that the correct forms of declaration are sent and that the mandatory information appears where it is expected. Nevertheless, administrative rules and constraints, which may be difficult for those responsible for designing or operating systems, are only a particularly visible part of a set of regulations established and maintained to avoid that individuals (employees, customers, partners, users, prospects...) are reached in their private life. A "breach of privacy" is a real legal and operational risk for an organization, whether the organization is a company, an association, an administration... It generally takes its source in a failure of the personal information confidentiality and can take the form of uncontrolled disclosure, identity theft, intrusion or unwanted i
