Directions：Read the following passage．Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage．

Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．

　　What is e-learning? E-learning is essentially the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge, whose content is delivered via the Internet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM．

　　E-learning dates back to the early 1960s when Stanford University psychology professors Patrick Suppes experimented with using computers to teach math．As early as 1997 William D．Graziadei published an article which described developing an overall strategy for technology-based course development and management for an educational system．Today people are using many technologies in e-learning, blogs and virtual classrooms included．

　　There are different types of e-learning that are available．Some educational experts suggest that different types or forms of e-learning can be considered as a continuum, from no e-learning, i．e．no use of computers or the Internet for teaching and learning, through classroom aids, such as making classroom lecture Power Point slides available to students and through a course website, to laptop programs, where students are required to bring laptops to class and use them as part of a face-to-face class, to mixed learning, where classroom time is reduced but not eliminated, with more time devoted to online learning, to fully online learning, which is a form of distance education．

　　Due to the effectiveness of e-learning methods, this type of learning methodology is rapidly becoming popular among schools．By 2006, 3．5 million students had participated in learning courses through the Internet at institutions of higher education in the United States．Allen and Seamen claim that almost a quarter of all students in post-secondary education were taking fully online courses in 2008, and a report by Ambient Insight Research suggests that in 2009, 44 per cent of post-secondary students in the USA were taking some or all of their courses online, and some professors predicted that this figure would have been doubled by 2014．Thus it can be seen that e-learning is moving rapidly from the margins to being a predominant form of post-secondary education．

　　E-learning has created a new paradise in education and it has greatly complemented our traditional methods and thus it has brought students a lot of advantages．We expect much more growth in adoptions of it in schools．
