E-Learning: Growth and Effectiveness Insights

E-learning allows for flexible education without physical boundaries by using computers. It was initiated to enable learning without travel and has grown popular in India through programs like Tata Sky's active learning and Sikkim University's distance learning. While e-learning is effective for reducing costs and enabling hobby courses, it may not provide sufficient skills for vocational courses compared to classroom learning.

E-Learning.

Agenda:
•Introduction
•Initiative
•Growth
•Effectiveness
•Opinion & justification

1
introduction
• E-learning is an advanced way of teaching
and learning where physical, economic &
political boundaries are missing, and
instead there are computers.
• This is flexible in usage as it can be
accessed from anywhere at any time, any
number of times.

2
Initiative
• E-learning was initiated in order to help
learn without actual traverse.
• This is a modern method of education, for
eg. TATA Sky’s active learning, Sikkim
university’s distance learning program.
• This is a fairly new concept in India but
has picked up pace.
• A lot of foreign universities follow
successful distance learning programs.
3
Growth
• As e-learning is a lonely activity and people don’t
know who to reach when faced with problems,
so web and collaborative learning platforms are
emerging to solve this problem.
• Major players in e-learning field are IGNOU,
Sikkim Manipal university, tata sky.
• It has remarkably grown in India eg. SMU,
IGNOU.
• Without travel, Indians take up courses from
foreign universities.

4
Effectiveness
• E-learning is a cheaper method of
education especially for people from low
income groups, people taking up hobby
courses like learning a new language,
cooking, how to operate equipment, etc.
• But on the other hand it may not be able to
provide sufficient knowledge and skills and
exposure to a person taking up a
professional or vocational course.

5
Opinion & justification
• Yes, e-learning has evolved over a period
of time, has helped a lot of people, who
otherwise would not have been able to
have an access to further education.
• But it certainly cannot substitute actual
classroom learning, because to learn to
swim one actually has to take a plunge.
