Abstract
Education has evolved over the years from basic reading and writing to the present-day globalized view. As we move from the era of low technology to highly sophisticated technology, there is a growing need for a skilled workforce at all levels of the society. There is a greater demand for continuing professional development and providing equal opportunities for all. However, to reach out to a maximum number of people in the society, it is necessary to break the social, economical, geographical, time, and space barriers in education.
