  • Abstract:
  • The science of learning without using printed instructional materials on paper can be best characterized as e-learning. The delivery of information for education and training through telecommunications technology is known as e-learning. E-learning is becoming the model for contemporary education as information and communication technology development continues to advance. The asynchronous and synchronous learning network concept of e-learning liberates interactions between students and instructors from constraints of time and geography. The deliberate use of networked information and communications technology in teaching and learning is referred to as elearning. This method of instruction and learning is also referred to by a variety of other names. Online learning, virtual learning, distributed learning, network learning, and web-based learning are some of them. Since the letter "e" in "e-learning" stands for the word "electronic," the name "e-learning" would include any educational activities that are carried out by individuals or groups working online or offline. It therefore encompasses much more than only online learning. On campuses and in distant learning, information and communication technologies—including the Internet—are widely used. In order to be successful in college, students must get used to the extensive use of e-learning (i.e., technology used by instructors to support the learning process), which includes PowerPoint presentations in class, web-based discussions to advance in-class dialogue, and the full range of information and communication technologies that faculty use when teaching courses entirely in-person, entirely online, or in a combination of the two. Students are expected to access course administration systems like WebCT and Blackboard, download course materials from specific course websites, and create PowerPoint presentations in the modern learning environment. The inclusion of students with visual impairments in higher education classrooms may be made easier through e-learning. If the course web sites are accessible and the students have access to the necessary information and computer communication technologies, such as adaptive software for screen reading and magnification, they can access class notes and handouts on the course web sites without assistance in traditional classes.
