Importance of eLearning in Education System
Swetha Sheetal Chand, Suva
As part of a growing modern society, I believe that eLearning has a vast impact on Fiji’s education system.
ELearning plays a vital role in the learning process as it makes the students’ learning much easier. Most people are already aware about eLearning, but the biggest question is, what are the benefits of eLearning in the learning process? Firstly, eLearning makes learning much easier. As a matter of fact, our world has gone through a major digital revolution in technology. As such, this digital revolution has made learning processes much easier to manipulate in terms of the resources it provides at a cheaper cost. For example, in high schools, most of the notes and resources can be accessed over the internet or a tablet rather than investing in textbooks which are not fully used thus leading to inefficient use of economic resources such as the papers used in producing those textbooks. Furthermore, eLearning makes learning process more entertaining and interactive. Not every student in a college has the same learning capacity.
Some students learn through writing, some through reading who are considered bookworms and others learn better through watching and listening to videos and audio. As such, eLearning provides a fun and comfortable environment to study in.
Hence, eLearning consists of many advantages which helps student learning environment much easier. Fiji is a growing nation whereby implementing eLearning in the education system would take our country forward in a positive way.
