CHAPTER 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION E-Learning is the imparting of knowledge via electronic means. Transfer of skills and expertise has been enabled by computers and networks.
At present time, Technology or to use a computer is a common or very popular when it comes into marketing fields, government agencies, business firms, schools and even homes. It makes almost everything possible to do by just using a computer. With the application of information technology, it helps people to do anything, anywhere at any time; it makes their work more efficient because it only takes a small time to get a details.
According on our research, E-learning, sometimes termed computer-based training (CBT), internet-based training (IBT) or web-based training

In some circles within the education sector, some refer to the ‘e’ as ‘enhanced’.
E-Learning can be delivered and supported using a variety of electronic media, but is also the ideal complement to a traditional education or training program delivery. These technologies are used to create and deliver individualized, comprehensive, dynamic learning content that facilitates learning, anytime and anywhere. It is an innovative approach to communicating almost any type of instructional information. E-Learning can be delivered and supported using a variety of electronic media but is also the ideal complement to a traditional education or training program.
E-Learning is interactive and hands-on. The use of a variety of multimedia increases student involvement and reinforces the learning experience. This leads to increased retention and a stronger grasp of the subject at hand. E-Learning is flexible. Learning can take place anytime and anywhere, as long as the necessary equipment is available. E-Learning provides consistent and effective training. All of the target learners can participate simultaneously and receive the same information, reducing the variability introduced through multiple sessions in different locations.
1.2 Statement of the problem
This study focused on developing a system that will help the students in their studies, and also for the teachers.
This study sought to find solutions to solve the problems encountered in the existing
A needs investigation ought to be led toward the beginning of any development push to figure out if: training is required to fill a hole in expert knowledge and aptitudes, and e-learning is the best answer for conveying the training. The needs examination permits the
The Smith family is an African American family currently residing in Bartlett, TN. The family owns a home in an established, middle class neighborhood. The Smith’s home is clean, updated and organized. John and Jane Smith, 48 and 45 respectively, live in the home with their 18 year old son, Junior. Both Mr. and Mrs. Smith are college graduates and have been financially preparing for their son’s matriculation to college. Mr. Smith was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in the fall of 2015. Mr. Smith has recently been terminated from his job, leaving Mrs. Smith as the sole wage earner. Mrs. Smith is suffering from acute anxiety and is experiencing panic
Whatever the technology, learning is the important element. e-Learning is no longer simply associated with distance or remote learning, but can now form a choice of the best and most appropriate ways of promoting effective learning.
The E-Learning Team is tasked to pick the right technology to meet the high demand of training. They will choose the applications to build the E-Learning courses, a robust LMS to house them and track down training completion, and utilize the Web 2.0
Over the years, technology has become a major part for a business and for an individual as well. Technology has become so advance that it has made a major effect for the staff as well as for the customers. New technology has helped in many areas such as data and information storage, advertising, transportation and communication.
Online teaching is defined as any educational activity that requires a student to complete some learning or assessment activity via a personal computer and a connection to a network (Murdoch University Academic Council 1999). This network connection is usually to the Internet (Demirdjian 2002). It is a seen by the Murdoch University Academic Council as a teaching and learning technology, not a method of study (2002), but this depends on how it is to be used and by whom. For example, distance education student using online teaching would be more inclined to see it as a study method than a QUT student who uses online teaching to download and print lecture notes to attend a lecture on campus.
The purpose of this case is to see and understand how e-learning tool contributed to an improvement in the processes of Cisco Systems by answering the following questions:
The electronic learning portal is taking place of many of the employee training programs. This is because E-learning portal can be used to deliver the study material directly to the employee instead of the employee needing to have a supervisor deliver it directly. This program has shown to save companies anywhere between 30 and 70 percent over traditional methods (Fister, 2008). Utilizing this system decreases
Television was one of the first medias that E-Learning was available by but since it was too expensive and the information was too dry, people started to lose interest (Lyon). Videotapes then evolved and were used in school classrooms (Lyon). When the Internet was invented, E-Learning used it to allow students to work with tutors from various places around the world. Students can work at their own pace thus giving them time to do other activities. Even though there is an issue with bandwidth, there are other optional types of media on the Internet, which uses less bandwidth than others.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has infused into education field since the past few years and brought new shifts to teaching and learning process by introducing a new concept known as 'e-learning'. Over the past decades, the world of education has been improved from day to day by the fast and rapid revolution of ICT which eventually raises the demands for online learning or e-learning. E-learning is well defined as a learning process that fully utilises electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of the classroom and it is well known for distance learning. This kind of learning allows learners to continuously learning outside of the traditional classroom with their own control, pace and time. In simpler explanation, e-learning is a course or program that is delivered online. According to Wang (2010), online learning or e-learning has been widely used in higher education, and a large amount of studies have been conducted to explore both of its strengths and weaknesses. However, literature
Learning is more than just receiving information. Traditionally learning was to be in campus, where students would interact with one a another, there were no other ways for learners to get educated beside going to the classroom and listening to the instructor. Nowadays the Internet has brought different ways for people to receive information, such as getting education and degrees online. A few years ago online education was never thinkable, and yet it has become to reality and it is widely expanding with popularity. Online education is a type of educational instruction that delivers learning to individuals to their own homes, and it is getting very popular among nontraditional student and others. Individuals prefer online education
Therefore, with the viewpoint of the writers it elaborates that mobile devices, internet and graphical games are the three types of e-learning that has created curiosity, a sense of social interaction and eagerness to learn new thing among students and the content of these technologies are based on recent curriculum. This helps a student to follow well defined instructions and to share opnions and discussions online for better assessment.
Despite these problems, e-learning has already established a strong foothold, albeit as an adjunct to traditional, instructor-led teaching. The main success in e-learning, is the improved standard of support that students receive. [Sydney
e-Learning is a catch-all term that covers a wide range of instructional material that can be delivered on a CD-ROM or DVD, over a local area network (LAN), or on the Internet. It includes Computer-Based Training (CBT), Web-Based Training (WBT), Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS), distance or online learning and online tutorials. The major advantage to students is its easy access. There
It also includes the delivery of content via Internet, intranet/extranet (LAN/WAN), audio- and videotape, satellite broadcast, podcast, interactive TV, CD-ROM, and more. E-learning programs are endowed with a training system, which employees can access, where face-to-face instruction is not possible because the very nature is that it is borderless and potentially global in scope. With e-learning methods, training can take place on-demand, and trainees can be given greater control over their learning than ever before (Rosenberg 2001). This increased control has the potential to improve training effectiveness. E-learning courses add value to traditional learning modes by offering self-paced or live, instructed training classes. Specifically, self-paced courses can be taken at the employee's leisure and are good for self-motivated persons. Typically these types of courses can be taken at convenience of the busy workers as well as for globally dispersed employees. Hence workplace training needs to be broadened and customized (Marc J. Rosenberg & Steven Foreman 2010). Live e-learning is capable of instant updating, storage/retrieval, distribution and sharing of instruction and information. Soft skills such as management, leadership, or team building can be tackled in this environment. However, this type of training works best if the class size is limited to 25
