THE CONCEPT OF E- LEARNING

Anyone in the world deserves to acquire education regardless how she or he acquire that education. E- learning is the use of computer technology in delivering education, most of the time in higher learning education. It is quietly means electronic learning, and typically this means the use of computer to deliver part or all of the course whether it is in a school or part of your mandatory business training or a full distance learning course. E-learning is simple because it is simply understanding and utilizing of electronic technologies to access the educational curriculum out of the traditional classroom. Most of the time it refers to the degree delivered though computer technology.

Others can say E- learning is the kind of learning that is facilitated and supported by the use of information and communication technology. E-learning can cover a wide range of activities from the use of technology to support learning as a part of a blended approach (traditional ways of learning and online learning). E-learning is sometimes known as the distance learning whereby people do not attend physical classes but rather they learn through their computer technologies. Sometimes it can be a blended approach whereby it can be a face to face kind of teaching mixed with inline kind of teaching. It can also be known as the use of technology to support the wide range of educational activities.

After seeing the concept of E-learning let us see the advantages of e-learning which are such as,

 Less cost full: it helps a person to reduce the costs of learning by reducing the travelling costs from one place to another place, that person will be away from printed materials, and it also help you to save money and increase the work force productivity.

Space flow; through E-learning a person will be able to learn from anywhere he or she is and also he or she can use any time that he or she wishes to learn. Many face to face studies normally take place during office hours whereby through e-learning people will be able to reduce the disruption to the busy working schedules and they will be minimized. In working places workers will be happy with e-learning because there will be no need of travelling to the training centres. If they have important work to catch on they will be able to perform their duties and later catch up on their mandatory training.

It improves progress to learners: the most advantageous thing in using computer for training is, it will help learners to improve their learning management system and improve their learning progress. This can be essential for the most popular courses where proof of mandatory is required.

It can be private: in the world not everybody feels comfortable learning or studying in a group of people or in a large group of people especially if they find something hard to understand that fellow students have no problem with. E-learning allow students to tackle problems at their own pace, with interactive tasks being set on place to ensure a thorough understanding throughout each module.

Learners may have the option to select learning materials that meets their level of knowledge and interest.

Different learning styles are addressed and facilitation of learning occurs through varied activities. This helps build self-knowledge and self-confidence and encourages students to take responsibility for their learning.
