and low on 
content 
1
In present scenario computers have become one of the key parts of human life. 
Computers are playing a key role in every individual’s life starting from kids to business 
professionals. The new generation is very much familiar with computers and internet 
(Mahmoodand Hafeez, 2013). There is no doubt that computer are giving a comprehensive edge 
to human life and taking the life standard to a new extent. At present computers are being used in 
every filed such as communication, education, transport, medical, science, etc. and plying vital 
role in their development. Computers have made human’s life so easy and comfortable like never 
before. Starting form communication to learning and shopping everything is so instant and easy. 
But the impacts of technological developments are not only positive. There is a dark side too 
which cannot be neglected while evaluating role of computers in human life. 
The use of computers for education is significantly increased in last few years. Due to the 
introduction of different new techniques online learning has become easier and interesting. The 
development of new technologies and software tools are providing practical learning experience, 
which is helping in manufacturing a real true learning society based on technology. It is an 
effective way of introducing wealthy training and merged learning techniques so that well-organized 
and effective learning practises can be implemented in the surroundings. There is no 
doubt that computer based learning has become effective like never before but then also it is still 
not so effective in the way it is being promoted. There are still many drawbacks in this technique 
that are decreasing its effectiveness. This present essay is going to assess the effectiveness of e-learning. 
This essay will assess the advantages and limitations of e-learning and will compare the 
identified facts with promotions. Promoters are presenting e-learning in a way like it doesn’t 
have any limitation but this study will examine the drawbacks of e-learning. This essay will 
evaluate that “E-Learning is over-hyped and low on content”. 
There is no doubt that computers are making several positive changes in human life but at 
the same time some negative impacts are also there. A variety of negative effects can be resulted 
on a person due to computer addiction (Ettinger, Holton and Blass, 2006). An addicted user 
spends more and more time on the computer and thus he withdraws from friends and family. In 
order to get more computer time individual skips meetings with friends and avoids family 
members and stops attending social gatherings, so relationships begin to wither. The user cause 
further social harm while they do interact with their friends as he becomes irritable when away

from the computer (Freund, 1988). Using computer for long hours can also result as emotional 
toll. The studies shown that user establishes their own artificial world after playing computer 
games for long time. 
Along with entertainment, computers are playing a vital role in learning too. The use of 
e-learning tools is significantly increasing and technological developments are largely affecting

These days e-learning has become a trend and youngsters are quite interested in it but the 
effectiveness of e-learning is doubtful. The very first issue is consistency of learning. There are 
several other things which attract user while learning from internet. The true learning is hindered 
by potential disturbances (Govindasamy, 2002). It is not possible for everyone to use e-learning 
as it requires well-matched gadgets and interment connection. There are several other drawbacks 
of internet based learning which are covered behind the comprehensive promotional strategies. 
Various studies are conducted by researchers to compare e-learning with traditional learning and

found that higher satisfaction is expressed by students from the computer mediated learning. 
Computer based learning is largely using many components that are familiar from traditional 
learning (Mishra, 2002). These components are accumulating knowledge, group discussions, 
presentation of ideas, arguments, etc. 
There are several learning theories that provide a solid base for good educational 
practises. E-learning includes a set of teaching styles rather than being focused on a single one. 
With changing educational technology different potential ways of technology are being 
implemented to make the learning process easier and effective. The first approach of learning is 
social-constructivist that is well afforded by the use of blogs, discussion forums, on-line 
collaborative activities and wiki (Venkatesh and Davis, 2000). This approach is dedicated 
towards wider groups including students themselves as it opens educational content creation for 
them. This approach is used by One Laptop per Child Foundation in their project. Another 
approach is Laurillard’s Conversational Model which is relevant of e-learning particularly. The 
cognitive perspective theory focuses on the process which is involved in working of brain and 
leaning. E-learning also considers emotional aspects like engagement, fun and motivation by the 
use of emotional perspective (Khan, 2005). 
Another aspect of e-learning is regarding behavioural perspective which focuses on the 
behavioural outcomes and skills of the learning process. It includes role playing and application 
to the on-the-job settings. On the other hand environmental and social aspects are focused by 
Contextual perspective to stimulate learning. The effectiveness of learning is enhanced by the 
interaction between student and teacher and student and student. A five stage model is developed 
by Salmon about E-moderating and E-learning (Bennet and Bennet, 2008).

There are several objectives of e-learning. The key aims of e-learning are to provide 
flexible learning chances for students, to change the learning style and fulfill the need of the 
millionaire students, to develop the skills of self-managed learning in students, to develop 
technological skills in students as per the needs of current technological world, to break the 
physical boundaries for education, to provide low cost training modules to the higher education, 
to enable students to plan a successful future of electronic learning training and to improve the 
quality of the learning (Anthony and Jill, 2002). E-learning is dedicated towards changing the 
traditional learning pattern and introduces a new pattern based on technologies. 
It is must for the developers to consider the technical limitations for example network 
bandwidth and hardware. It is suggested by the e-learning theory that graphical representation of 
course material along with audio attachments but on the other hand these technological 
limitations are major barriers. Pages with too many graphics and audio attachments take a long 
time to open with slow bandwidths (Baylor and Ritchie, 2002). In some courses students need to 
use large monitors and projectors also for make the clear and effective understanding of the

concepts. In online distance learning environment the course activities can be impeded by the 
technical infrastructure deficiencies on the student side. Technology and the knowledge at the 
other end are major factors that can make serious impact on the effectiveness of learning. So 
basically in presence of these limitations the application of e-learning theory is doubtful (Adams, 
Nelson and Todd, 1992). All these limitations are neglected by promoters while promoting e-learning 
that can be misguide the users. 
The above dissuasion gives a clear indication that e-learning is over-hyped and in order to 
hype e-learning properly it is must for developers to remove these hinders of E-learning. Before 
starting the online learning course all the technological aspects should be identified by the 
learner and he should also manage all the required equipments.

students too. It is being presented as a essential element of learning for school going 
students but in real life practises it is not so effective for as them due to lack of technological 
knowledge.

By using different types of activities from several learning styles E-learning ensures the 
effectiveness learning but in presence of some potential barriers it is not so effective. An 
individual can develop his career with the help of advanced learning by increasing the 
knowledge in operating the computer and the internet (Khan, 2005). E-learning is not only about 
learning the course material but initially it includes the learning of basic technological skills 
which are vital for students in current scenario. It is a significant adverting of e-learning is that 
initially it focuses on developing the most important technological skills and internet knowledge 
in students. Another advantage of e-learning is time saving. If all the required skills and 
equipments are there then an individual can gain expert knowledge from home thought the help 
of e-learning (Bennet and Bennet, 2008). E-learning is an effective way of learning from 
monetary point of view. The demand of higher education is increasing day by day and so as the 
cost associated with it. By the help of e-learning students can undertake online courses by paying 
a very small amount. With the little help searching skills students can get the required course 
material on internet easily. It is not essential for the students to travel for modules to a central 
shop as the internet can be available for all desktops and no fee is charged for training modules 
as well as course material (Mishra, 2002).
