e-Learning is now an essential component of education. Globalization, the proliferation of information available on the Internet and the importance of knowledge-based economies have added a whole new dimension to teaching.

E-learning, which is at present a major area of growth in the information sector, is the word for education by means of the electronic media. And as a result of widespread computer networking, the increasing accessibility of the internet and the easy availability of web development tools, E-learning now has a wider array of development and delivery technologies. And what more, this type of learning has been seen as cost effective as well.

However, the cost of E-learning services depend on many factors like, the kind of Web infrastructure in place, the complexity of programming required and the length of courses. But, on the whole, it's been found that an e-learning course costs about half as mush as an instructor-led course. So, a main advantage associated with E learning is the cost and flexibility. There are many flexible learning plans to choose from in e learning services. E-learning also considerably speeds up the process of learning interaction and storage and delivery of information. It also leaves room for customization of learning materials.

Electronic learning or eLearning is a general term used to refer to computer-enhanced learning. It is used interchangeably in so many contexts that it is critical to be clear what one means when one speaks of 'eLearning'. In many respects, it is commonly associated with the field of advanced learning technology (ALT), which deals with both the technologies and associated methodologies in learning using networked and/or multimedia technologies.
