Introduction

The vast movement towards e-learning is clearly motivated by the many benefits it offers.
However much e-learning is praised and innovated, computers will never completely eliminate
human instructors and other forms of educational delivery. It is however important to know
what e-learning advantages are and when these outweigh the limitations of the traditional
training approaches. E-learning is good for organizations as it promises better use of time,
accelerates learning, reaches across the geographies, and fixes accountability for learning
outcome. It reduces paperwork and administrative costs. It is learner-centric and requires full
involvement of trainees for the learning to occur.
