Knowledge is power. It strengthens the thoughts and beliefs and contributes to shaping an individual\u2019s personality. Learners acquire knowledge in many ways, and this may take place either through individual or group learning. Also, the environment acts as a stimulus for learning. A child learns many things from his\/her surroundings and applies the same to different situations.\u00a0<\/span>Traditional classroom learning is the most common method of knowledge dissemination. However, with technological advances, it is becoming a thing of the past. ELearning is now becoming more than a trend and is supplementing and even replacing traditional classroom learning rapidly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a close look at e-learning, its types, advantages\/disadvantages, and importance.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is ELearning? <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

E-Learning (or electronic learning) is a formalized learning system that uses technology for knowledge impartment. The use of computers and the Internet is fundamental to e-learning. Thus, it entirely depends on electronic resources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, e-learning facilitates the transfer of knowledge and skills to a large group of learners at the same or different times. The learners can easily access the courses\/lessons available on the Internet without any space or time constraints.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hitherto, the concept of e-learning was not embraced by many educators as it lacks the human element. However, with incremental evolution in technology, e-learning<\/strong> <\/a>started gaining ground as one of the most efficient and preferred methods of learning. It is currently not only used by learners who wish to learn a skill but is also used in the classrooms to supplement in-class learning.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of ELearning<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

E-Learning<\/span> requires certain tools to operate. There is low to zero human interference with electronic learning. Most often the only time there is a need for human interference is to create a course\/lesson. Creating an e-learning course\/lesson requires some tools<\/em><\/strong> that cater to the specific needs of the course\/lesson. Educational scientists identify different types of e-learning according to these learning tools.<\/span><\/p>\n
