e-Learning > Goals

E-Learning lessons are generally designed to guide students through information or to help students perform in specific tasks. 

Information based e-Learning content communicates information to the student. Examples include content that distributes the history or facts related to a service, company, or product. 

In information-based content, there is no specific skill to be learned. 

In performance-based content, the lessons build off of a procedural skill in which the student is expected to increase proficiency.
