What advantages can e-Learning bring?
1: - Learners' evaluative skills can be developed through activities based on online resources prior to face-to-face sessions.
2: - Asynchronous, peer-to-peer learning through collaborative tools can encourage reflection and evaluation beyond class contact time.
3: - Practitioners are less focused on marking and more able to concentrate their efforts on preparing analytical and evaluative activities.
