e-Learning......

Gone are the days when students studied in a classroom where teachers tried to pour out what they knew. Traditional teaching has revamped and reinvented itself with the advent of web technology. With the advent of internet we are facing a generation which has no living memory of a world without internet!

E-learning in itself is an umbrella term for providing online (computer based) learning solutions. Now this includes a variety of teaching material, coursework, assessment, discussions, chat and many more features of web 2.0 shared over the internet/intranet which is either a part of a distance or a classroom learning program.

In the early days it was predicted that e-learning will radically change the learning paradigm and classroom teaching will be long forgotten in the history, but as e-learning has matured its shown a symbiotic relation and the traditional classroom teaching has evolved and today we see the advent of blended learning which is bringing together the best of both worlds!
