- 2. E-learning has transcended the traditional definition of “education through internet only”. The E- learning process is like an umbrella, under which lots of things are arranged to make the global educational system more uniform, cost-effective and quality-rich. Broadly speaking e-learning is a process of training for all types of learner in their required fields through IT Techniques. The E- learning process includes courses from technology to art of living. However, to get a clear knowledge about the scope and objective of the E-learning process we are going to discuss about some features of this process.
- 3. introduction E-learning (or eLearning) is the use of electronic media, educational technology and information and communication technologies (ICT) in education. E-learning includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video, and includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape, satellite TV, CD-ROM, and computer-based learning, as well as local intranet/extranet and web-based learning. Information and communication systems, whether free-standing or based on either local networks or the Internet in networked learning, underly many e-learning processes.

- 5. Features Cost effectiveness Time saving Rich media support Test engine Accessibility
- 6. Educational approach Synchronous Occurs in real-time, with all participants interacting at the same time. Eg. face-to-face discussion, online real-time live teacher instruction and feedback, Skype conversations, and chat rooms. Asynchronous Self-paced and allows participants to engage in the exchange of ideas or information without the dependency of other participants. Eg. email, blogs, wikis, and discussion boards, as well as web- supported textbooks.
- 7. Advantages Improved open access to education, including access to full degree programs. Improved interactions between students and instructors. Provision of tools to enable students to independently solve problems. No age-based restrictions on difficulty level, i.e. students can go at their own pace. eLearning can accommodate different learning styles and facilitate learning through a variety of activities .
- 8. Disadvantages Ease of cheating. Bias towards tech-savvy students over non-technical students. Teachers' lack of knowledge and experience to manage virtual teacher-student interaction. Lack of social interaction between teacher and students. Lack of direct and immediate feedback from teachers.
- 9. Technology and Infrastructure Internet Learning management systems (Multi-media) software for course development Virtual libraries E-learning infrastructure
