• As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital platforms.
• Research suggests that online learning has been shown to increase retention of information, and take less time, meaning the changes coronavirus has caused might be here to stay.
2. What is eLearning?
eLearning, or electronic learning, is the delivery of learning and training through digital resources. Although eLearning is based on formalized learning, it is provided through electronic devices such as computers, tablets, and even cellular phones that are connected to the internet.
A learning system based on formalized teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as E-learning. While teaching can be based in or out of the classrooms, the use of computers and the Internet forms the major component of E-learning.
1. Synchronous E-learning
Set time (phone/Internet classroom sessions)
Synchronous eLearning is real-time learning. In synchronous learning, the learners and the teacher are online and interact at the same time from different locations. They deliver and receive the learning resources via mobile, video conference, Internet, or chat. In this type of learning the participants can share their ideas during the session and interact with each other and they get detailed queries and solutions. Synchronous eLearning is gaining popularity because of improved technology and Internet bandwidth capabilities.

2. Asynchronous E-learning
Learner directed, self-paced learning
Asynchronous eLearning is a pause-and-resume kind of learning. In this type of eLearning, the learner and the teacher cannot be online at the same time. Asynchronous eLearning may use technologies such as email, blogs, discussion forums, eBook CDs, DVDs, etc. Learners may learn at any time, download documents, and chat with teachers & also with co-learners.
