Integrating e-learning in teacher education
Abstract
In considering the integration of electronic learning (e-learning) in teacher education, there is also
a need to consider the kinds of skills and competencies the teacher needs for using such technical media in
pedagogical activities in a teaching classroom. Such competencies will enable the teacher to guide the learners
in encoding and decoding messages. It is also important that the teachers acquire various forms of knowledge
and background assumptions about the relevance of the use of technology in pedagogical practice. This paper
covers the e-learning issues of both the teacher and the learner. It gives a brief history of distance learning to
include e-learning and teacher competencies in the utilization of related technology used in e-learning
delivery modes. It also discusses how important e-learning is in the current society where technological knowhow is advancing.
