E- learning in education

 A learning system based on formalised teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as E-learning. While teaching can be based in or out of the classrooms, the use of computers and the Internet forms the major component of E-learning. 

One of the importance of e-learning in education is that tutors and participants both can develop advanced learning skills. There is a good practice of knowledge sharing followed through different online platforms. This is important in current times as competition is rising and the world is also growing. Hence, quick information helps in the better growth of an individual. Geographical boundaries had made it difficult for teachers and students to travel to other countries. This new trend has helped in providing consistent education.

Despite everything that e-learning has to offer, there are some disadvantages. Ie. - Lack of Motivation, lack of face to face interaction, , lack of control, isolation, technology issues .

 

But the reality is e-learning is already ensconced in our education system. From e-mail to learning management system, education is going electronic. The e-learning is a treasure trove of rich benefits and exciting advances just waiting to be discovered. But there are also major pitfalls that must be carefully avoided.
