What particularly is e-learning excellent for?

Last week I tried to respond the query 'what is e-learning excellent for?' and came up with a very simple answer:

E-learning, in its several types, is appropriate for any studying action which does not have to be performed face-to-face.

I went on to describe what conditions would be in which a face-to-face remedy would be needed, but I probably did not go far enough to fulfill most studying professionals. The reason is that you can't generalise about e-learning because it comes in so several types. Pcs and methods offer so many possibilities to enhance studying on the job, but the possibilities are reliant on the use you are developing of these power resources. So, here's a more particular reaction to the query, listed in kind of e-learning:

Type of e-learning Some possible applications
Interactive self-study tutorials Short training which help individuals to acquire information against particular goals, usually as a forerunner to using these information to carry out projects on the job or to be a part of in other, more genuine, studying actions such as classes.
Tutorials which make problem-solving and decision-making abilities, using case research, conditions and other types of relationships.
Live on the internet actions using web conference conventions tools Formal educational classes, similar to those performed in a physical class room.
As an aspect in a appropriate combined remedy, e.g. introducing a new course, to find out key subjects, to evaluation improvement.
As relaxed developing action, e.g. on the internet classes such as demonstrations and conversations.
As something to allow multiple students to communicate with each other on projects and projects.
As a means for anyone to present the results of projects and projects.
Games and simulations As an application of suggested finding studying, enabling students to obtain concepts into problem-solving and decision-making concepts, e.g. venture store, business strategy, marketing.
As a way for anyone to find out complex concepts and features, e.g. overall costs, technological innovation.
As a safe way for anyone to work out complex psychomotor abilities, e.g. generating a car, travelling an airplane.
In a multi-player perspective, as a life-like and immersive way for anyone to work out collaborative projects such as managing immediate conditions.
Digital on the internet material, such as web content, video clips, screencasts, podcasts, glide shows Performance assistance material for accessibility on-demand.
As an aspect in a appropriate combined remedy, e.g. to activate a conversation or in preparing for a tasks shop.
As a developing action started by individuals.
As an result of studying actions taken out by students working independently or in categories.
Social media resources, such as boards, wikis, weblogs, public networks To accomplish team cooperation within a appropriate combined remedy.
As efficiency assistance resources, i.e. which makes much easier to find and offer abilities.
As useful discussing about best work out, links and information.
As useful problem-solving and representation.
E-assessments To check information, knowing and, to a more restricted level, problem-solving and decision-making abilities, against particular goals. Of restricted stability when the evaluation happens soon after the distribution of studying material. E-assessments are unable of examining all kinds of studying goals.
