Script

The circumstances, objects, and conditions by which the learner is surrounded constitute his or her learning environment. Learning management is the process of surrounding of the learner with the circumstances, objects, and conditions which would catalyze his or her learning.

This environment may be designed and/or created by an educational institution, workforce service provider, or learners themselves.

Self-education is education without the guidance of masters (such as teachers and professors) or educational institutions. A self-learner chooses the subject of study, their learning resources, and educational format. Other names include autodidacticism, autodidactism, self-learning, self-directed learning, and self-teaching.

The social-learning theory represents the view that we can learn through both observation and direct experience.

Finally, a managed learning environment (MLE) is a computer-based managed environment for learning that supports learning activities, possibly, organized in learning sequences. The core activities routinely include assessment, authoring, communication, learner progress tracking and, possibly, more advanced options. The scope of advanced activities varies greatly; they may or may not include collaboration, e-portfolio building, hands-on training, on-the-job training, etc. One example of managed learning environments is the CNM Competency Suite, which is a part of CNMCyber.
