E-learning

The term e-learning in general refers to learning facilitated and supported through the use of information and communications technology. It can cover a spectrum of activities from supported learning, to blended learning (the combination of traditional and ICT enhanced practices), to learning that is entirely online. E-learning, therefore, is an approach to facilitate and enhance learning through both computer and communications technology.  E-learning today allows students to get fully involved in interactive and collaborative learning processes through the use of internet- may be through asynchronous activities like e-mail, discussion forum, blogs, wikis or through the synchronous activities like chat sessions, video conferencing etc. A web-based learning management system allows students to have access to rich digital content in multiple format and try out different things with the inbuilt high level of interactivity features and makes the learning community based through the access to teachers and fellow learners.
