E-learning utilizes electronic technologies to access educational curriculums through web-based learning, virtual classrooms, and digital collaboration. It allows students to learn at their own pace and accommodates different learning styles. E-learning also develops computer and internet skills useful for life and careers while saving paper. Studies show e-learning students have increased confidence and a 25% higher pass rate. However, slow internet can cause frustration and hands-on lab work is not suitable for virtual classrooms. Motivation and study habits also impact e-learning success. When used for lessons, e-learning incorporates videos, pictures, apps, games and prior research to make topics more engaging and understandable.
