From a revolutionary concept, e-learning has become the fastest growing trend in education in a span of 20 years. The idea to use technology and impart technology through the internet has been brought into practice in several parts of the world. In May 2007, children in Uruguay began to learn via laptops under the ‘one laptop per child’ scheme. The scheme was the brainchild of Nicholas Negroponte (founder of MIT’s Media Lab) and it was designed with the help of Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

In October 2009, in Nepal, where 70 per cent women and 35 per cent men in the country were illiterate, an educational initiative called ‘Room to Read’ paved way for the students to embrace technological learning and expand their horizons through Skype and Google.

Pavan Chauhan, Managing Director Meritnation.com, says online education has undergone changes for the good. “Until recently, online education amounted to a little more than electronic versions of the old-line correspondence courses. That has really changed with the arrival of web-based videos, instant messaging and collaboration tools such as interactive games and puzzles that can help a child grasp concept in a manner that is likely to make his understanding more permanent. The basic idea is to leverage technology to identify and understand each student’s specific learning needs and provide them customised content to nurture the learning curve.”

The virtual classrooms give you enough time to set your own study time from anywhere, where everything is delivered online. There is a vast room for students to communicate and interact with other students across the country and the world. Documents, transcripts, live discussions, training materials and even instructors are all available at convenient times. These courses have enabled one to earn a degree at various levels – associate, bachelors, masters or even a PhD. Click here to read more...
