E-learning offers the ability to share material in all kinds of formats such as
videos, slideshows, word documents, and PDFs. Learning is essential to our existence.
Just like food nourishes our bodies, information, and continued learning nourishes our
minds. Today, continuous learning forms a necessary part of acquiring critical thinking
skills and discovering new ways of relating to people from different cultures. The prime

and the reasons behind the popularity of e-learning. Secondly, to find out the factors
associated with the success and failure of e-learning education and why is it beneficial

Unlike traditional learning, if you have missed any lesson, you can always have
it online. E-learning allows teachers a higher degree of coverage to deliver the content
regularly. This ensures consistency in learning. E-learning is costeffective as this
method quick and easy. The popularity of the Internet and Internetbased applications
have grown fast in recent times. It has affected the ways in which we conduct our
daytoday activities. People rely more and more on the Internet to find the information
they are looking for or even to learn new subjects. When we talk about the Internet and

board term which generally covers a wide range of teaching and learning activity via
electronic media such as computers or webbased platforms. E-learning is not
necessarily distance learning and may also occur in facetoface classes.
