Foss E-Learning Star

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. While educational reasons are cited, the initial decision to adopt such systems is often driven by needs to attract more students and adapt to trends in global education. E-learning is also seen as a way for companies to extend training capabilities and provide customized, dynamic content to employees through various online and virtual methods. Standards organizations are working to develop interoperability between different e-learning platforms and systems
