Introduction
E-learning comprises all forms of electronically supported learning and teaching. E-learning is essentially the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge. Content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM. It can be self-paced and can involve various media in the form of text, image, animation, video and audio. [1]
E-learning can be considered both as an opportunity and a challenge. It provides the opportunity for teachers and Students to overcome the constraints of inadequate physical teaching resources and in many cases not enough qualified teaching staff. It is challenging for the teachers who are strict followers of the traditional way of face-to-face learning. Apart from teachers, the learners also face the challenge of learning new technology. But once learned effectively can only reap sweet fruits.
As Business is facing pressures of competitive globalization, they require a sustained, rapid transformation. The revolution in the information and communication technologies also led the management to think about the change in developing their peoples knowledge base. Managing and developing peoples knowledge, skills and behavior must be at the heart of building this competitive advantage because only they can make it happen. While some organizations are still having pieces of puzzles, few have the capability to utilize the powerful INTERNET technology, which is making e-learning a key solution to achieve competitive advantage which can deliver the rapid and effective change that organizations need.
