2. E-learning
E means electronic. Internet-based, CD-Rom based, telephone-based, mobile-based, video-based learning activities should all be considered as e-learning. Today, the vast majority of e-learning takes place on the web through a web browser . (Thomas De Praetere, 2008)
E-learning refers to all organised learning and activities under the influence of an educational organisation that are carried out with the help of Information and communication Technologies(ICT).

3. Why e-learning?
The instructor is forced to make learning interesting by using various approaches.
According to Tom Russell’s “No-Significant- Difference Phenomenon”, a meta analysis conducted in 1999, proves online learning to be more effective than traditional classroom.
E-learning is the only kind of learning, which is available 24/7 at your comfort location.
