E-CONTENT: A CLASSROOM ANYWHERE –ANYTIME

Education

National Seminar On "Adroitness in e-Content Development for Higher Education"

Since the inception of the Information Age, students have started preferring E-learning over/with classroom learning. Today almost every student has an access to Internet by any medium. Thus, access to E-content is easy and much more feasible as compared to the conventional way. Because of this, even the universities and institutes have started adopting and adapting the technologies. Best example of this is the not-so-recent initiative taken up by many schools and colleges of introducing the “Smart Class” concept, where the students are taught on a projector screen which enhances their learning experience. This study talks about how E-content or E-learning becomes helpful to the school/college going students, when a student has missed some of his/her lecture or has a doubt in some topic and couldn’t reach to his/her teacher. Via E-content he/she can easily clear doubts, can get deeper knowledge in any topic and understand a concept better, without going to the classroom. Thus it acts as a classroom , anywhere-anytime! In spite of it having some disadvantages and pre-requisites, this is an emerging way of imparting knowledge to the students now-a-days. The paper also discusses the effects of E-content and E-learning in today’s higher education.
