Introduction
In today's digital environment, the traditional classroom-based learning method has numerous obstacles in accommodating students. Traditional platforms struggle to accommodate students from all around the world. It is impossible to suit all learners' needs and capabilities, such as time and pace of learning.
Traditional classrooms also encountered numerous obstacles during the pandemic. Lockdowns and social distancing measures have posed issues for instructors and students around the world. It quickly became clear that everyone needed a forum to address all of these issues. (Asadi, 2021)
Web-based Learning Management System will be a big of help to Administrators, Teachers/Professors,
Parents and Students for them to have easy access and less aggravation in any transaction. Web-Based Learning are existing everywhere through the help of internet which makes the users to have free access of information in just one click. A virtual technology that makes an advancement to the geographical gap, which the users experience that they are being inside of a classroom. Web-Based Learning, offers the ability in sharing material to all kinds of formats. Such as videos, slideshows, word documents, and PDFs. Conducting webinars- a live online classes that enables the communication between professors and students through chat and video messaging. There are different Web-based systems (otherwise known as Learning Management Systems, or LMSs for short) and methods, which allows for courses to be delivered. With the right tool, various processes can be automated such as a course with set materials and automatically marked tests. It provides the learners with the ability to fit learning around their lifestyles, effectively allowing even the busiest person to further a career and gain new qualifications.
Some of the most important developments in education happened since the launch of the internet. These days’ learners are well versed in the use of smartphones, text messaging and using the internet that has become a simple affair in participating and running an online course. Message boards, social media and various other means of online communication allows learners to keep in touch and discuss course-related matters, while providing a sense of community.
Statement of the problem
E-learning is becoming increasingly popular in higher education. This emerging alternative method necessitates ensuring and disseminating a sound and qualitative education. This study examined the quality dimensions of e-learning. Our findings identified strengths and limitations in the e-learning system. E-learners have diverse opinions on administrative issues, instruction materials, instructor support, VIPER sessions (software for interactive learning via the internet), grading, and assessment. The study's findings show that providing a better method and viewpoint to e-learning can enhance its effectiveness. (Rengasamy Elango, 2008)
Main Problem:
How can we improve student engagement in the e-learning system?
Specific Problems:
Are the course materials engaging and interactive enough to maintain student interest?
Is the platform user-friendly and accessible for all students, including those with disabilities?
Are the assessments and feedback mechanisms effective in promoting learning outcomes?
How can we ensure that students are motivated to actively participate in online discussions and collaborative activities?
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
The scope of an e-learning system refers to the extent and potential applications of the system in providing educational resources and opportunities. E-learning systems have a broad scope, offering benefits such as accessibility, flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. These systems can cater to a wide range of learners, including students pursuing higher education, professionals seeking skill development, and individuals looking for personal enrichment.
E-learning systems can cover various subjects and disciplines, ranging from academic courses to vocational training programs. They can incorporate multimedia elements like videos, interactive simulations, and virtual reality experiences to enhance learning outcomes. Additionally, e-learning platforms can support different modes of instruction, such as self-paced modules, live webinars, and collaborative group projects.
Despite its numerous advantages, e-learning systems also have limitations that need to be considered. Some common limitations include:
Lack of Personal Interaction: One significant drawback of e-learning is the reduced opportunity for face-to-face interaction between instructors and students. This lack of personal connection can impact communication effectiveness and hinder social learning experiences.
Technical Challenges: E-learning systems rely heavily on technology infrastructure and internet connectivity. Technical issues such as server downtime, software glitches, or slow internet speeds can disrupt the learning process and frustrate users.
Limited Hands-On Learning: Certain subjects or skills may require hands-on practice or physical demonstrations that are challenging to replicate in an online environment. Practical training in fields like healthcare, engineering, or performing arts may be less effective through e-learning alone. Assessment Integrity: Ensuring the authenticity and integrity of assessments in e-learning environments can be challenging. Cheating or plagiarism risks may be higher in online assessments compared to traditional in-person exams.
Digital Divide: Not all learners have equal access to technology or reliable internet connections, creating a digital divide that limits participation in e-learning programs for some individuals.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The significance of studying e-learning systems lies in understanding the impact and effectiveness of digital learning platforms on education and professional development. By exploring the benefits, challenges, and best practices associated with e-learning, researchers can contribute valuable insights to enhance the design, implementation, and utilization of online educational tools. Additionally, studying e- learning systems can provide evidence-based recommendations for policymakers, educators, and organizations looking to leverage technology for improved learning outcomes and skill development.
ELearning, without a doubt, has fixed its roots in the surface of education. With the increasing speed of internet connections, opportunities for multimedia training have arisen. Even social media has left a great impact on education and is evolving it constantly. Learning and educating can be very expensive, time-consuming and does not guarantee results, but eLearning has the baggage of solutions to every possible problem. Saving time whilst saving money is a basic human wish and need. To do the work, physical presence is not required now. Everything is available in the portable virtual world. (Rajput, 2019)
