Elearning: A New Way of Imparting Knowledge

With the fast changes bought by the rapid advancement in information technology the traditional method of learning is becoming obsolete.  Gone the days where learning only takes place in the four corners of classroom.  At this era, books and other printed materials are no longer the sole source of information and the black board and chalk is no longer then only tool available for imparting knowledge.

Computers and other communication devices have changed the mode, means and ecology of learning.  The learning nowadays becomes a synergistic activity of billion-globally networked people.  The use of computer, internet and other media in learning is called electronic learning or elearning.  Elearning are usually taught using computer based training (CBT) and online training videos.  Computer based training is a new method of learning new skills it is also an efficient way of preparing for examinations. 

Elearning allows student to learn anywhere at any given time on his/her convenience.  The learning could be CD-ROM based, networks based, intranet-based or internet-based.  Lessons could include text, audio, video, environment simulation or combination of those.  Elearning also allows the student to learn at his or her own pace, and allows the student the flexibility to tailor his own learning base on his learning style, skill level, motivations, disabilities and learning objectives.  The use of elearning can be very productive experience that can surpass the level of training a student might experience in the crowded classroom. 

There are so many sites that offer elearning, but one of the sites that I really found interesting is the K Alliance Elearning.  You may visit their site for perusal and see if you agree with my opinion about them.
