International Conference on Education & e-Learning 2011

Education is the process by which society deliberately transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation to another. It has the same importance as food and shelter, and it is known to be essential to a life of an individual. As food is considered necessary for the health and shelter for the body, education is needed for the mind.

Getting self-educated by learning online is a hot topic now as web applications and processes are made available in the virtual world: Web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classroom opportunities and digital collaboration. The content is delivered via the Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM.

E-learning can be self-paced or instructor-led, and includes media in the form of text, image, animation, streaming video and audio that enhances our learning cycle.
