Abstract
E-learning comprises all forms of electronically supported learning and teaching which are aimed at imparting or facilitating the construction of knowledge. E-learning is perceived by many as made up of the computer and network-enabled transferor of knowledge. Applications that facilitate this process include web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classrooms, and digital collaboration. The vast and extensive development of the Internet has facilitated what many individuals perceive as the engine of e-learning.
