E-learning refers to electronic learning systems that provide teaching through electronic resources and the internet. There are 10 types of e-learning including computer-managed learning, computer-assisted instruction, synchronous online learning, and asynchronous online learning. E-learning aims to increase student engagement with materials and independent learning skills. It can be implemented through websites, links, chats, quizzes and databases. While e-learning provides benefits like flexibility, cost savings and personalized learning, it also faces challenges such as lack of face-to-face interaction, technical issues, and security/authentication concerns.

whenever you have the free time to. There is no hard and fast rule.
9. Through discussion boards and chats, you are able to interact with everyone online
and also clear your doubts if any.
10.The video instructions that are provided for audio and video learning can be rewound
and seen and heard again and again if you do not happen to understand the topic
first time around.

11. Disadvantages Of eLearning :
1. The face-to-face learning experience is missing.
2. Most of the online assessments are limited to questions that are only objective in
nature.
3. There is also the problem of the extent of security of online learning programs.
4. The authenticity of a particular student's work is also a problem as online just about
anyone can do a project rather than the actual student itself.
