Introduction
Education is the essential part of life and
learning is a continuous process. In
today’s scenario we need creative thinkers
and innovators. In new innovation,
education plays a major role. Education
is the backbone of a nation. The education
system provides us better living standard.
In 21st century …
information technology plays a vital role in
imparting education. At the start of internet
in 1990’s, a saying was in fashion “the
internet changes everything”. IT and its
applications changed the way of teaching
and imparting education. Our education
system is focusing on creating the
students who can face the challenges at
world level. Educational governing bodies
like UGC, AICET are doing…
great for improving the quality of education
but with great difficulties. But information
technology changed the style of education
system. It creates knowledgebase and
then makes it available when and where it
is necessary. It reduces the cost to provide
education on people’s door step. In 21st
century one can hardly find a country
where higher education through distance
mode is not…
available. But In present days with the
revolution of IT, the higher education
through distance mode is done by virtual
learning i.e., through internet. IT has
provided e-learning an alternative teaching
and leaning methodology. This technology
being added to the traditional teachers
centered model to give better results…
Definition of Terms:-
IT:- The term Information Technology (IT)
was coined by Jim Domsic of Michigan in
November 1981. Domsic created the term
to modernize the outdated phrase "data
processing". Information Technology is a
general term that describes any
technology that helps to produce,
manipulate, store…
communicate and/or disseminateinformation. Presumably, when speakingof Information Technology as a whole, it isnoted that the use of computers andinformation are associated. “InformationTechnology” as defined bythe Information TechnologyAssociation of America (ITAA), is "thestudy, design, development,implementation, support or managementof…
computer-based information systems,
particularly software applications and
computer hardware." IT deals with the use
of computers and computer software to
convert, store, protect, process, transmit
and securely retrieve information...
E-Learning:- E-learning is the computer and
network-enabled transfer of skills and
knowledge. E-learning applications and
processes include Web-based learning,
computer-based learning, virtual
education opportunities and digital
collaboration. Content is delivered via the
Internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video
tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM. It can be
self-paced or instructor-led…
and includes media in the form of text,
image, animation, streaming video and
audio. E-Learning is mainly linked with
higher education and professional training.
The other name of e-learning is on-line
learning. In this we use network- the
internet, an intranet (LAN) or extranet
(WAN) for course delivery...
Distance Education:- Distance education
means separation of teacher and learner
in same time and place. Distance
Education has the potential to generate
new patterns of teaching and learning and
there is evidence that it can lead to
innovation in mainstream education, and
may even have effects beyond the realm
of education itself. It is also believed that
Distance Education plays a particularly…
decisive role in the creation of the global
knowledge-based society and will be an
important element of future education and
training system that have significant
pedagogical, economic and organizational
implications (UNESCO, 2002)...
Education is a two way communications
that allow learners and tutors to interact. In
distance education this is quite impossible.
Through IT, it can be possible. The use of
IT has extended the scope of offering
educational programmes at a distance.

Audio conferencing: It involves the live
(real-time) exchange of voice messages
over a telephone network.
Video conferencing: This technology
does not use telephone lines but either a
satellite link or television network
(broadcast/cable)…
Web-based conferencing: Web based
conferencing as the name implies,
involves the transmission of text and
graphic, audio and visual media via the
Internet; it requires the use of a computer
with a browser and communication can be
both synchronous and asynchronous.
