Why E Learning ?

As of now a day’s to learn the new things or new concepts or new subjects is more necessary for our own growth.

But who will teach all these things??

If any one teach us also, should we are able to spare 3 to 4 hours of our time to go that place and learn the things?


It’s a big question.



To overcome these type of problems, the new e learning concept has came into the industry.

Everyone (maximum) having internet in their offices and homes. So when internet is available why can’t we use internet as a tutor for us.

So internet will teach us about the new things which we don’t know. But who will develop such type of content for us to use through internet.


To get rid of this type of problems E LEARNING has came into the market.



E Learning works with LMS (Learning Management System). LMS is just like a blackboard in our traditional institutions, where the content is displayed.

If anyone makes the content that should be displayed in the LMS, but how come we know about which LMS will support our content.

So we need fallow some standards to develop the content. Those standards are called SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Module) standards.

SCORM is a combination of LO’s (Learning Objects). LO is nothing but a Module or Unit in our traditional books. Here each LO is divided into some SCO’s (Sharable Content Objects). Again SCO is the combination of Assets.


The Asset is the main page of our content which can be included like Text, Audio, video or Animation etc,.

So when ever we are working on a e learning course please try to understand the standards and maintain them to fit our content in any of the LMS’s.
