A learning system based on formalised teaching but with the help of electronic resources is known as E-learning. E-learning, or electronic learning, is the delivery of learning and training through digital resources. E-learning can be carried out via the consumption of videos, PDF documents, slide-shows and word documents. Although E-learning is based on formalized learning, it is provided through electronic devices such as computers, tablets and even cellular phones that are connected
E-learning can also be termed as a network enabled transfer of skills and knowledge, and the delivery of education is made to a large number of recipients at the same or different times. Earlier, it was not accepted wholeheartedly as it was assumed that this system lacked the human element required in learning.
Online courses are often provided by Learning Management Systems (LMSs) and allow learning material to be delivered at a steady rate, organized into sections and chunks to make it easier for the learner.
