| Over
the years the field of education
transformed itself into a business.
In the modern world, education
is no more a monopoly of Governments.
Bold entrepreneurs and multi
nationals have already made
their forays and established
their presence, not only in
the field of professional education
but also in the field of secondary
as well as primary education.
|
| Now
with the advent of Internet
a student who wishes to pursue
higher education or parents
who is in search of a school
for their wards have access
to any number of schools and
Universities from any part of
the World.
|
| As
colossal competition starts
mounting up in the field the
requirements for success also
takes a quantum leap. In addition
to the basic facilities and
quality of teaching, accessibility
over the net has also become
an important standard for the
success of an educational institution.
Schools which have IT enabled
services or e-learning are a
great relief for parents who
are highly mobile owing to various
reasons of job and Business.
|
| Educational
institutions always give birth
to a huge community constituted
by thousands of students, their
parents, teachers and managerial
staff. Internal communication
in the organization is also
a serious concern owing to the
size of the community. Here
also IT services like Intranet
is the sole rescue.
|
| e-learning |
| In
addition to the role of a facilitator,
Internet also plays a direct
role in the education industry.
The concept of “e-learning”
is rapidly revolutionizing the
field of education. Now students
hailing from any part of the
World can earn prestigious degrees
and diplomas from globally reputed
universities even without setting
out from their houses. “E-learning”
is the term used to describe
the fields of online learning,
web-based training, and technology-delivered
instructions. The effectiveness
of an e-learning experience
is greatly enhanced through
student-centered design. In
online courses, learners learn
better through use of clear
headings, limited distracting,
visuals, screen-friendly fonts,
appropriate white space, web
safe colors, etc.
|
| e-books
|
| With
technology entering every nook
and corner of life, traditional
printed books are gradually
giving way to modern e-books.
An e-book or a digital book
is just a large structured collection
of information or study material
that can be transported on CD-ROM
or other storage media. It can
also be delivered over a network
connection or the Internet.
E-books are also restructuring
the traditional concept of library
and research.
