E-Learning: Supporting and enhancing students learning

E-learning supports, enhances, enables and transforms teaching and learning to provide rich, diverse and flexible learning opportunities for a digital generation.
Furthermore it engages students by providing a variety of content such as sounds, images, text and movies which helps more in the retention of material. It creates interaction that engages attention by means of quizzes or games which creates more interest in the user thus helping them to retain more data.
Learning is not restricted by barriers of time or place. There is seamless access for students across school, personal, family and real world domains. E-learning eliminates the problems of time scheduling or travelling for lectures by allowing the student to go through the course anytime, almost anywhere.
ICTs are used to empower and engage learners to participate in student-centred, project-based learning.
What makes e-learning so effective is that it enables learning to take place according to the learner's own pace.
