Keywords:
e-learning, e-education, globalisation, education through internet, challenges in e-educationAbstract
E-learning or E-education has become a need for educational institutions. It is being deployed in almost every educational establishment across the world. Researchers lay a lot of emphasis on the benefits of E-learning but the disadvantages or the challenges in E-learning have not been discussed thoroughly. The educational institutions are becoming more and more aware of diversity of the students. Thus, they are making all possible efforts for providing a wide range of alternatives for the engagement of students. The rapidly flexible modes of delivery which are available for students provide a number of opportunities for students seeking educational opportunities. In changing across and between different modes, the one size fit all approach is mostly used. However this one sit fit all approach does not always work in terms of students who experience isolation. On being compared with their counterparts, these learners face various barriers to full participation in the coursework.
