ABSTRACT

The study was focused on the today growing trend Globalization of Education E.Learning. Globalization of society is connected to remarkable development in information technology and global networking. It gives a birth to e-learning; this type of learning widened our horizons of traditional learning and creates opportunity for all stakeholders in teaching and learning process. The knowledge acquired by a person during his formal education becomes obsolete at a very rapid rate in the digital environment. E-learning is the cutting edge of lifelong learning and e-learning gained ground during 1990s along multimedia and interactive presentations and employees’ training. E-learning is based on the concept of creating media-rich collaborative virtual experience that offers the benefits similar to the real physical experience in face to face learning and teaching. E-learning facilitates just-in-time learning without disruption of the daily work schedules. Moreover, it offers on-demand courses at the convenience of the learner. It is flexible in the sense that the traditional constraints of space and time don’t bother the learner. As an innovative tool, technology has played a central role in improving teaching and learning in light of educational reforms around the globe. E. Business, E. Banking and other such ‘E’ word have appeared and become globally popular, E-learning is one of them. Hence E-learning can reduce the cost of education per student by increasing economic benefits and improve the quality of education. It fulfils the purpose of education so that globalization of education via electronic media is good and bad both, it depends on user how he or she uses and what’s the purpose of using it. Here I conclude with my words that electronic media with their vast information and easily accessibility of knowledge, ideas, thoughts, it shrinks the world or globalize the whole world.
