Distance education
Online learning
Such a concept was not welcomed initially, since electronic devices weren’t a huge
hit in the classroom. It was believed that technology would remove the human
element from the education system. However, with the overwhelming outcomes on
the rise, e-learning soon became the go-to guy for the education sector.
CHALLENGES OF E-LEARNING
Even though the concept of e-learning is set to create major waves in the education
sector in the recent years, the challenges are streaming in. Many organizations
have embraced e-learning with open arms, but the problems amount to a staggering
sky-high heap when it comes to implementing e-learning at the school level.
Let’s shed some light on the challenges faced.
A vast majority of the Indian population resides in rural areas. The lack of
infrastructure in such areas gives rise to connectivity and accessibility issues.
However, the Government of India has been instrumental in removing such
barriers by implementing various measures. Two schemes have been launched to
aid in e-learning implementation:
These two schemes have been solely launched to implement ICT in video and web-
based learning.
The certifications that come with conventional learning is somehow lost in the e-
learning concept of education. The e-learning courses do not cover a lot of
certification courses that are recognized by colleges and universities across India or
abroad. This pulls the e-learning courses out of sync with any stream of school
education.
The traditional education methods have enlightened generations for decades now.
Even though you might feel that they have overstayed their welcome, it has
become increasingly difficult for us to overthrow tradition completely and embrace
newer methods of learning with open arms.
However, renovation in the old-school methods have seen the light of the day with
technology entering the industry. But a complete makeover in education with the e-
learning methods would still require some time to establish itself.
If a large part of the population isn’t aware of the amazing benefits that e-learning
has to offer, then how can it be expected to change the face of education in the
coming years?
Awareness plays a key role in making the proliferation of e-learning a joy ride.
With that lacking, the future becomes questionable.
While the challenges pose an impending storm rocking the e-learning ship
violently, the numerous benefits calm the waves to a soothing cradle. E-learning
streams in like a shining ray of hope, making education accessible for:
Anyone
Anywhere
Anytime
FUTURE PROSPOECTS
India has become a major source for e-learning content development owing to the
country’s highly educated workforce and low-cost benefits. It is about time for the
concept of e-learning to be fully incorporated in the country’s education system.
With Internet users expected to rise to a hefty 500 million by 2020, there is no
way that e-learning can stay behind.
By June this year, the number of mobile Internet users is slated to rise to 213
million, paving a way for dynamic education to reach every learner.
SCOPE
The scope of this study was limited to the users of Chandigarh and Bathinda who
are using e-learning services.
OBJECTIVES
The main objectives of the study are as follows:-
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Methodology makes the right platform to the researcher to mapping out
the research work in relevance to make solid plans. The Merriam-Webster Online
Dictionary defines research as " A studious inquiry or examination, especially :
investigation or experimentation aimed at the discovery and interpretation of facts,
revision of accepted theories or laws in the light of new facts, or practical
application of such new or revised theories or laws". Research is thus an original
contribution to an existing stock of knowledge making for its advancement. It
involves systematic collection, analysis and reporting of data and finding relevant
solution to a specific situation or problem.
Research Design
A research design encompasses the methodology and procedures employed to
conduct scientific research. The design of a study defines the study type and sub-
type , data collection methods and a statistical analysis plan. It is considered as a
"blueprint" for research, dealing with at least four problems: which questions to
study, which data are relevant, what data to collect, and how to analyze the results.
The researcher should select the research design which is appropriate in achieving
the objective of the study.
Sampling Design
Sample Unit: The sample unit consists of users ofe-learning apps in
Chandigarhwho are using e-learning services.
Sample Size: For the current study, sample size was 100 respondents.
Sample Procedure: The sample procedure used was convenience sampling.
The first hand information bearing on any research is the one which has been
collected by the researcher. The data here is collected through:
A structured questionnaire
Personal interview of the user.
CONCLUSION:-
It is concluded that all the respondents are aware of e-learning apps. Respondents
are aware of BYJU’s, Meritnation, Sololearn, Courserae-learning apps.100%
respondents are using services of e-learning apps.Respondents are studying school
syllabus, college courses and competitive exams through e-learning apps.
According to respondents the benefit of e-learning is that the lectures can be taken
any number of times, no restrictions, and reduced costs. It is clear that majority of
the respondent were agreed with the statement that learning from e-learning apps
clear the concepts in your training programs. Only few respondents are disagree.
But there are drawbacks of e-learning also, there is no face to face interactions in
e-learning, there are health related concerns, no self-discipline in e-learning.
