Research Study on the Effect of E-Learning in Training Course
Keywords:
E-learning, Moodle, Training, ExcelAbstract
Despite the proliferation of E-learning in training and education world-wide, this methodology is not implemented on Libyan context .Therefore there is a need to investigate the effect of deploying E-learning methodology in training field.
The aim purpose of this study is to develop E-learning Excel training by using Moodle open source (learning management system). The secondary purpose is to compare the effects of two different modes of training delivery (E-learning training, and traditional classroom training) on trainee achievement used in an Excel training course at (Quality Assurance Ccertification Center).
A study was developed to examine trainees achievement in Excel training course by comparing results of pre-test and post-test for both modes of delivery. The sample was (14 trainees at classroom mode and 13 trainees at E-learning training).
The final results showed that the mean difference between the pre-test and the remote test using the T.test of the two groups was that the E-learning group obtained a higher achievement of statistical significance than the traditional education group at the significance level (P <0.05).
These results indicate that excellence in using the E-learning course is well-designed and can be very effective for trainees' achievements.
