e-Learning is now an essential component of education. Globalization, the proliferation of information available on the Internet and the importance of knowledge-based economies have added a whole new dimension to teaching and learning. As more tutors, students and trainees, and institutions adopt online learning there is a need for resources that will examine and inform this field. Using examples from around the world, the authors of e-Learning: Concepts and Practices provide an in-depth examination of past, present and future e-learning approaches, and explore the implications of applying e-learning in practice. Topics include: - educational evolution - enriching the learning experience - learner empowerment - design concepts and considerations - creation of e-communities - communal constructivism This book is essential reading for anyone involved in technology enhanced learning systems, whether an expert or coming new to the area. It will be of particular relevance to those involved in teaching or studying for information technology in education degrees, in training through e-learning courses and with developing e-learning resources. Bryn Holmes is an assistant professor in Education at Concordia University, Montreal and director of an Internet company, Inishnet, which offers research and consultancy in online education. John Gardner is a professor of education at Queen's University, Belfast and his main research areas include policy and practice in information and communications technology in education.

This research study explored e-learning design practices that support emergence (just-in-time, connected networks) when finding, creating and sharing digital knowledge. Using a conceptual framework that modeled use of the technologies and emergent practices under investigation, this study used Web 2.0 tools in exploring effective practice. A social network analysis (SNA) of the Blogosphere community was done in phase 1 to locate globally trusted experts regarding e-learning and networked knowledge. Collective inquiry between these bloggers was then used in phase 2 to create new understanding of digital, shared knowledge environments. Participants explored ideas and best practices via open-ended electronic survey questions, which were then summarized and confirmed via a collective Wiki. Summary tag clouds were produced on each question to help the researcher and participants better visualize consensus in the responses. A qualitative summary of findings indicated the importance of support for trust, social software, independent and just-in-time discovery, and connected networks of learners. The study concluded that the how to of connection, shared knowledge, and collaboration will become radically richer and more innovative with the adoption of Web 2.0 tools and technologies. The challenge will be in making shared knowledge tools and practices better understood, incorporated and supported throughout the organization. This study proposes the need for a new design practice of shared knowledge architecture that offers a more integrated and dynamic learning environment, embedded in the information worker's daily workflow.

This book provides a comprehensive overview on several aspects of remote laboratories development and usage, and their potential impact in the teaching and learning processes using selected e-learning experiences.The book is based on the presentations and discussions carried out at «International Meeting on Professional Remote Laboratories», which took place in University of Deusto, Bilbao, in the period of November 16-17, 2006. Apart from chapters based on the presentations, some others have also been included in this book. In this way, we hope to give a broad, well balanced and up-to-date picture of the current status of remote labs and their role within the e-learning paradigm.

It is widely recognized that online and e-learning is no longer an exclusive approach used only in distance education and in isolation from traditional education programmes. A real difficulty facing educators and trainers is how to integrate these new learning methods and embed them in established and existing forms of learning, teaching or training. This book forms a serious, in-depth study of the subject and proposes that e-learning is not simply a matter of 'digitizing' traditional materials, but involves a new approach, which must take into account pedagogical, technological and organizational features to form a well-designed education system. A practical focus is maintained throughout, with advice on implementation and case studies drawn from the contributors' considerable experience. Integrated E-Learning is essential reading for anyone wanting to implement, design, develop or deliver e-learning or training courses.

Diabetes Mellitus Based on Psychopathology and Brain Science by Hajime Jozuka, M.D. In this book the author describes the psychosomatic and psychiatric treatments for Type 2 diabetes mellitus. A diabetic patient depends on his country’s history with food and drinks. For example, Europeans and Americans have a long history of consuming alcohol and sugar, compared with Oriental people who only have a hundred year history. People who have diabetes are isolated and dependent on alcohol and sweets. This book shows the special features of diabetic patients, how to treat them, and even how to prevent this disease. Learn to prevent diabetes by reading this book.
