E learning Important

 E-learning -- also called electronic learning or web-based training -- is anywhere, anytime instruction delivered over the internet or a corporate intranet to students and other learners via a browser. Contrary to traditional learning methods, e-learning lets students, employees in training and casual learners participate in an organized learning experience regardless of their physical location.

In its formative years, e-learning tools primarily enabled the delivery of learning material directly from a teacher to a learner. Now, the e-learning experience has evolved to enable more multidirectional communication using increasingly interactive tools. Learners have greater freedom in choosing how they receive and respond to e-learning content, and any number of peers can be involved.

Why is e-learning important?

E-learning methods and technology are important both for educating students and for the professional development of employees in the workforce.

The rapid evolution of technology has made it increasingly important for employees to have the right skills and training.  Learning environments, such as e-learning, will play a key role in retraining and reskilling many of these people.

In addition, companies are increasingly turning to online learning for ongoing training and upskilling employees. Learning management systems (LMSes) are particularly popular in corporate settings. Higher education institutions also use online learning methods along with internet-capable electronic devices, both inside and outside of traditional classrooms. According to McKinsey & Company's 2022 survey of 7,000 students in 17 countries, 65% of higher education students want schools to retain aspects of online learning in the post-pandemic world.
