E-learning systems refer to online or technology-based learning systems that support courses delivered fully or partially through the internet. They incorporate links to technologies like databases, unlike traditional computer-assisted learning packages. Institutions often choose e-learning systems based on ease of use, appearance, recommendations, and marketing rather than pedagogical distinctions. E-learning systems are seen as a solution to problems universities face from decreased funding and changes in global education trends. While educational reasons are cited, the initial decision to adopt such systems is often driven by a need to attract more students from a wider geographic range.
