e-Learning is an interactive methodology in which students work in online learning communities consisting of cohorts of 8-20 students. On a weekly basis, they interact asynchronously with one another over a period of 11-12 weeks, completing a variety of learning tasks. These include listening to mp3 teachings by world renowned scholars, studying prescribed materials, participating in discussion forums, writing journal entries, and submitting assessment tasks (e.g., assignments; tests; projects).
