3. What is E-learning ?
A learning system based on formalized 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 are the major component of E-learning.
E-learning is the use of technological processes to
access learning material outside of a traditional classroom or office.
E-learning is also often referred to as online learning or web-
based training.
E-learning is training provided via a computer or other digital device,
allowing technology to facilitate learning anytime and anywhere.
4. Why E-learning???
E-learning saves time and money.
With e learning, the learners can access content anywhere and anytime.
E-learning is also cost-effective; companies save a substantial amount on the
travel and accommodation costs of both learners and instructors, as well as the
venue and materials.
As long as learners have access to the internet, they can access
their training anywhere using a computer, laptop, phone or tablet.
Online learning provides fantastic flexibility, among other benefits, and aids in
making the task of arranging development opportunities far easier.
6. Features of E-learning
E-learning is dynamic: today in the era of globalization, it helps in
availing the online experts, best sources and quick approaches in a
single mouse click.
E-learning is individual i.e. centered across the learner and
personalized to the individual.
E-learning operates in real time that is available for 24* 7days.
E-learning is comprehensive.
It is network assisted and often learning is done within the fraction
of time.
Blend of learning methods such as—virtual classroom, simulation,
community and even a classroom.
7. NATURE AND CHARACTERSTICS OF
E-LEARNING
Empowered by digital technology: E-learning is pedagogy empowered by
digital technology.
Computer enhanced learning: E-learning is a term which is used to refer
computer enhanced learning.
Technology enhanced learning: E-learning includes all types of technology
enhanced learning (TEL), where technology is used to support the learning
process.
Online learning: Use of e-learning is generally confined to “on-line
learning” carried out through the Internet or Web-based technology, with
no face-to-face interaction.

More then CBL and CAI: E-learning conveys broader meaning than the terms CBL
(Computer based learning) and CAI (Computer assisted instruction).
More than on-line learning: E-learning is broader in its meaning that they conveyed
through the simple terms like “on-line learning” or “on-line education
10. Synchronous E-Learning
Synchronous learning and teaching takes place in real time (same time)
while the trainer and learners are physically separated from each other.
Examples include:
• listening to a live radio broadcast.
• watching live a television broadcast.
• audio/video conferencing.
• Internet telephony.
• online lectures.
• two-way live satellite broadcast.
13. Asynchronous E-learning
Asynchronous learning is the fact that the trainer prepares the courseware
material before the course takes place.
The learner is free to decide when he wants to study the courseware.
In other words Asynchronous e-learning where people are not online at the
same time and interaction does not occur without a time delay, allowing
people to participate on their schedules.
Examples include:
• self paced courses taken via Internet or CD-ROM
• videotaped classes
• stored audio/video Web presentations or seminars
• recorded audio tapes
• Q & A mentoring
• reading e-mail messages

facility.
Learners also need to have a good computer skills.
Slow or unreliable internet connections can be frustrating.
Lack of direct or immediate feedback of the respondents is missing.
Unmotivated learners or those with poor study habits may fall behind.
Lack of familiar structure and routine may take getting used to.
Students may feel isolated or miss social interaction
Instructor may not always be available on demand
