e-LEARNING AND THE CHANGING EDUCATION MARKET

e-Learning is a very broad term for internet-based learning in general. Distance education, online learning, E-Learning – all of these terms are becoming synonymous with the latest approach to providing high quality educational offerings.

It may be defined as internet-based learning where the student and instructor are not necessarily face-to-face. Interaction with the instructor and with other students may occur via videoconferencing or teleconferencing. When using computers, interaction may take place in asynchronous (email or bulletin board) sessions or synchronous (chat room) sessions.

The intent of the instructor in these long distance environments should be to create a community of learners where students interact with each other and the instructor just as if they were together in reality.

e-Learning has been established as a new "buzzword" which is created and pushed by educational institutions to boost the e-Learning trend. The Internet has allowed colleges, corporate universities and for-profit businesses to begin offering degrees and executive education via the Web. In fact, this segment of the education market appears to be the fastest growing when compared to the traditional market.

e-Learning eliminates the barriers of time and distance creating universal, learning-on demand opportunities for people, companies and countries. It provides faster learning at reduced costs, increased access to learning resources, and clear accountability for all participants in the learning process.
