The web is the key technology for internet-enabled learning because it presents a variety of content, links and tools in an integrated manner. The web also makes content available in a single, convenient and familiar resource that can be easily accessed by students around the clock, at work, at home or while travelling. E-Learning is Internet enabled learning. Components can include content delivery in multiple formats, management of the learning experience, and a networked community of learners, content developers and experts. E-Learning can provide faster learning at reduced costs, increased access to learning and accountability for all participants in the learning process.
Learners are free to study at their own pace, regardless of time or location.
E-learning makes learners accountable through online testing and progress management and allows learners to obtain relevant information faster and more productively. Organisations can benefit by tracking learner performance to assess workforce preparation.
