E-learning is a very effective and efficient way of training.
As the cost of
accessing the internet is going down and as the personal computers are becoming
more powerful, e-learning will become even more cost effective.
From the social perspective, this form of learning has allowed education and
training for all even at places where there is lack of trained teachers and
educators. One may recall the Idea cellular advertisement to this effect. This has
also made quality training and education made more affordable and available to
the mass. For example: The collaboration that NIIT Imperia has with top B-schools
such as IIMs, IIFT etc. to offer their virtual programs has allowed lots of people to
get the same quality at their own city especially for the working professionals who
now need not worry about quitting employment to further educate themselves.
Yet, it is important to understand that this form is not a complete substitute to a
classroom or personal training but is the most effective training and learning
medium to complement the traditional form of training.

Introduction
E-learning represents convergence in the education, training and information
fields. The term e-learning group together education, training and structure
information delivered by computer / Internet. The recipient of E-learning today is
mostly the adult learners. When we discuss learning design for adults, all our
thinking is based on three more or less universally accepted truths about
learning:
Adults learn differently from children. There is general agreement that this is
true. Andragogy, the science of adult learning, shows that there are valid
approaches, which are specifically valuable when designing learning for adults.
These
include
focus
on
learner-centred
design,
layering
knowledge

Conclusion:
We should not always looks for the advantage only there are some pitfalls also
to succeed further. There are many advantages of e-learning if we see from the
perceptive of learner, instructors, developers and administrators. Mistakes that
could make e-learning ineffective are likely to happen to any training program.
Through understanding of various models that govern e-learning, one can make
effective use of this method.
