E-Learning
Introduction: The education system has
passed a long way from its conventional one. In the modern technology-based
world, the education system is also greatly blessed with the support of ICT (Information
and Communication Technology).
The devices of e-learning: E-learning
refers to various kinds of electronic media and information and communication
technology in education. It includes all forms of educational technology
supporting learning and teaching. In, this process, students must be first
equipped with basic knowledge of technology such as computers the internet, etc.
The process of e-learning: E-learning
includes a great number of types of media that provide the learners and teacher
with text, radio, image, animation, and streaming video. It also provides them
with knowledge of technology applications. E-learning can occur in or out of
class. It can be self-paced, simultaneous, or synchronous learning. But it can
also be face-to-face learning, that is, it can be done in a conventional way with
the support of technology.
Distinctive characteristics of
e-learning: E-learning through a process of evolution, has reached a greater
sophisticated state from the point when education was supported with technological aids. Previously educational activities were performed on
conventional campuses with departmental classes, teachers, etc. where everything
was done through person-to-person activities. But now, all the activities such
as registration, admission, certification, taking or giving lessons – everything
is done electronically or technologically. Now, a student can get lessons or
education from a teacher who is currently in an aircraft. All these are possible through our computer or the internet knowledge.
Conclusion: E-learning provides now a
great store of information on a great number of websites. So, to go with the
present world we must make use of this sophisticated mode of learning.
