| What does the term E-Education in Convergent Mode describe? | the shifts from the traditional and open and distance education to e-content based educational system in a convergent mode | E-Education is used to denote both the shifts from the traditional and open and distance education to e-content based educational system in a convergent mode – E-Education in Convergent Mode or Convergent E-Education, which will be relevant during the transitional period. It is assumed that this transition will be complete when broadband Internet connectivity and IT appliances are available to Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime. There are mainly two mega paradigm shifts in education. The first is from traditional university to open and distance education (ODE), and the second is from ODE to E-Education. Both the traditional and ODE universities are essentially based on industrial models of education – offering mass education. The new paradigm of e-education is however of a non-industrial form and should offer personalized education on a mass scale (Mass Personalization). | 35 | definition | 1.000 | E-Education is used to denote both the shifts from the traditional and open and distance education to e-content based educational system in a convergent mode – E-Education in Convergent Mode or Convergent E-Education, which will be relevant during the transitional period. |
