3WHAT IS E-LEARNING?
E-learning is a computer based educational tool
that enables you to learn anywhere and at any
time. Internet plays an important role in
e-learning today, although in the past CD-ROMs
were used. With technology increasing at a rapid
pace it has bridged the gap between online tools
available for learning. E-learning lets you
share materials, conduct webinars and communicate
with professors on a regular basis via message
forums. E-learning provides students with the
ability to add learning to their daily schedules,
effectively allowing even the busiest person to
further a career or gain more skills.
4TOP GROWTH RATES IN E-LEARNING BY COUNTRIES
5INDIA IS DOMINATING THE E-LEARNING INDUSTRY
- E learning is growing at a rapid pace
and analysts suggest that it will reach 107
billion in 2015, with countries like India
dominating this industry. Studies show the
Internet has transformed the online learning
sector in recent times with an elevation of
educational academies, corporate houses as well
as training centers sharing expert thoughts and
knowledge through online programs.

A Coursera study that evaluated over 50,000
Indian students reported better outcomes in the
country than the global average. The online
courses have benefitted 90 Indian students, a 3
higher than the global average. The study done
by Coursera and researchers at the Universities
of Pennsylvania and Washington, was carried out
on students who had completed a course on
coursera that was for three months or more.
A new study by LoudCloud Systems on e-learning
research and development firm estimated the
e-learning market size in India will grow from
20 billion to 40 billion by 2017. The firm
noted that the online education and learning will
change drastically in the next three years
because online education is not only attracting
the student community in India, but a number of
businesses across different industries including
IT, BSFI and manufacturing. Bajaj Financial
Services, TVS Infotech and KPIT Cummins are some
of the businesses that have adapted to the trends
of e-learning.
7THE ENTICING FUTURE OF E-LEARNING
S2S teaching platforms (2020 A.D.) states that
students learn better and retain more when they
actively interact with each other. It plays on
the concept of mixed age and ability classrooms
and makes use of individual learning to associate
different students with peers who they can mentor
or teach. Algo-generated lessons (2030 A.D.) is
a natural outcome of the push for big data and
data mining. Apart from those, new tools such as
attention and eye tracking will be used where
the students input can be monitored and
quantified. Hence, lessons can be created that
match the students targeted learning levels,
prior knowledge, and preferred methods of
learning. Neuro-informatics (2040 A.D.) Though
the current state of the field is far removed
from the 2040 applications projected,
neuro-informatics will allow an understanding of
how the human brain functions and how
optimization of learning can be done by taking
into consideration the individuals brain
structure. It is possible that Matrix-like
technology will be developed that will allow
information to be uploaded to the human brain
without the need for any system of education.
