serving the needs of current students Higher education institute needs
to make a website to be accessed world widely Higher education
institution and programmers can elect to go through a peer reviews
process that is coordinated by private and state accredits organization
These organizations are made up to higher education professionals who
evaluate quality based on the organization’s established standards
higher education we sites provide all the information about the courses
that could boost a student’s career prospects and earning positional,
while giving them the chance to immerse themselves in a subject that
really of their interests

5. In this technology ear, the passion of internet is boosting among the

2 EDUCATIONAL CD’S
The extent to which e-learning assists o replaces other learning and
teaching approaches is variable Now a day’s CD’s play an important

6. role in the educational field Compact Disc Read Only Memory (CD-
ROM) refers to a technology in which arrange of data types, such as
text, graphics, audio, photographs, and video can all be stored in digital
form and accessed by conventional Personal Computers In the past,
learning and simply meant face to face lectures, reading books or
printed handouts, taking notes and completing as segments generally in
the form of answering questions or writing essays In short, education,
learning and teaching were considers impossible without a teacher,
books and chalkboards Today education and training have taken on a
whole new meaning Computers are an essential part of every
classroom and teachers are using DVDs CD-ROMs and videos to show
students how things work and operate Student can interact with the
subject matters through the use of such web based tools and CD-ROM
Moreover, each student can progress at his/her own pace
IMPORTANCE OF EDUCATIONAL CD’S
Students can became active Participants as Opposed to Passive ones
where they simply receive instructions or information Trust is another
factor that enhances the learning ability of students Teachers can
establish credibility in what they are teaching Web based tools can be
used for providing demonstrations and examples that can help
students credence in what they are learning The role of educational
cd’s in the field of education id four fold :it is included as a part of

credence in what they are learning It provide distance learners with
online communities, live chat rooms and bulletin boards It allows
students to collaborate and communicate even though they are isolates
in their own space CD-ROM based training have helped eliminate the
need for an instructor based lesion Plan Students can grasp concepts
faster, proceed and move along, without being held back by ones who
need more time and help for learning Such individual pacing beneficial
to all It allows students to put into practice information quickly and
with better results Students can save time and increase their
productivity Educational Cd’s can include demos, feedbacks that can
help the students to reflect on what they have learned In all these
ways educational CD’s plays a major role in a student’s life
3 LEARING MODULES
Learing Module is a tool that provides course materials in logical,
sequential, order, guiding students through the content and
assessments in the order specified by the instructor. Instructors can
insert formatted text, files, web linked, Discussion Topics, Assignments,
Test & Quizzes ,and soon Assessments. Content can be structured in
such a way as to require students to complete content before they are
allowed to proceed to the next content. It is also possible for

8. instructors to set up a place for student to add content to the Learning
Modules. Learning modules are made by educators.
Learning Modules are used to package and present content and allow
instructors to organize related course materials in a Table of contents.
All types of content, such as items, Assignments, and tests can be
included in a learning module. Learning modules are edited like any
other item in content within a learning module. Learning modules are
edited like any other item in a content area. Content within a learning
module is added and managed just like content within a learning
module is added and managed just like content in a folder or content
Area. The learning Module is a shall to which other types of content,
such as files, are added…..
Instructors can add folders and subfolders to a learning module to
impose a hierarchical structure over the content. This hierarchy is an
outline view that appears in the table of contents depending on how an
instructor sets upon a learning module, students can view content in
one of two ways :
Sequentially : material is viewed in a specific order.
Non – sequentially: materials are viewed in any order.
Learning Modules can be viewed sequentially or non-sequentially. If
sequential viewing is enforced, Students vie the learning Module in the
order listed. Students cannot advance to a page within the unit without
having viewed the previous page. If sequential viewing is not enforced,
item in the Learning Module can be viewed in any order. Sequential
viewing is set in options for the Learning Module and can be changed at
any time.

9. A Learning Module is a logically structured collection of course content.
Conceptually, it is similar to a chapter in a textbook. A Learning Module
consists of several sections and activities. Faculty members can add
folders and sub-folders to a Learning Module and impose a hierarchical
structure over the content. The Table of Contents displays the hierarchy
in an outline view and enables students to easily comprehend the scope
and structure of a lesson.
IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING MODULE
It’s a packet of teaching materials consisting of behavioral objectives, a
sequence of learning activities, and provisions for evaluation ,
1) The objectives are written in behavioral terms are specific.
2) Sequence of learning activities is designed to:
a) Provide instant feedback to the leaner on his achievement.
b) Proceed from lower to higher cognitive levels.
c) Contain materials with intrinsic interest for the learner.
d) Provide optional and recycling paths to achieve the
objectives.
e) Be self continuative to the conclusion of the module.
f) Equip the learner to achieve the stated behavioral objective.
3) The evaluation procedures focus on the standard behavioral
objectives. It enables the instructors to determine whether the
leaner has achieved the objective.
Purpose of Learning Module
1) To individualize (or to permit use of teams of learners in)
instruction.
2) Less stress on verbalized instruction.

10. 3) To provide a conceptual model for learning that minimizes the
need for conventional, verbalized, instructional techniques.
4) To enables (or requires) teachers to analyze the learning process.
5) To improve instructions through improved evaluation, resulting
from the formulation and measurement of learning outcomes
expressed in measurable terms.
6) To maximize the effective use of instructional media and group
exercises.
7) To permit learning to occur outside the presence of the teacher.
8) Increased skills of teacher in analyzing the leaner process.
Module helps to individualize instruction by:
a) Providing mediated (teacher free) activities for one or more
learners simultaneously.
b) Permitting students to work at their own rate of learning.
c) Providing immediate feedback to leaner and educator.
d) Using intrinsic interest material (relevant materials).
e) Enhancing learners chance of successful achievement.
The ideal instructional model (using models) would make each ‘course’
or ‘program’ of study a collection of concepts to be internalized through
‘performance’ or ‘competency-based’ activities by learners.
Responsibilities for achievement of preset goals are placed on the leaner.
The instructor n such a system coordinates, evaluates, helps in logistics
requirements, counsels, and guides. Such activities are assumed to
enhance the professional status of teaching role.

11. CONCLUSION
Technology as we have discussed above helps us to have any type of
desired information at our command. With less time and less efforts we
can do wonder in creating, gathering, processing, storing, presenting
and disseminating information in our desired way with the help of the
newly developed sophisticated tools of information technology
