 E-learning includes numerous types of media that deliver text, audio, images, animation, and streaming video, and includes technology applications and processes such as audio or video tape, satellite tv, cd-rom, and computer-based learning, as well as local intranet/extranet and web-based learning. information and communication systems, whether free-standing or based on either local networks or the internet in networked learning, underly many e-learning processes.

 E-learning can occur in or out of the classroom. it can be self-paced, asynchronous learning or may be instructor-led, synchronous learning. e-learning is suited to distance learning and flexible learning, but it can also be used in conjunction with face-to-face teaching, in which case the term blended learning is commonly used.

 It is commonly thought that new technologies make a big difference in education. many proponents of e-learning believe that everyone must be equipped with basic knowledge of technology, as well as use it as a vehicle for reaching educational goals.
