Abstract
The benefits such as Convenience, Customization, Personalization, Cost Effectiveness, Interactivity Effectiveness, etc depend mostly on the the quality indicators recommended for achieving academic excellence in e-learning. Learning outside the four walls of the class rooms is the trend of the day. E-learning results in superior retention compared to traditional learning. Studies confirm that online learning processes lead to 60% faster learning curve. Moreover, the delivery of content in smaller units further contribute to a more lasting learning effect. With e-learning, the global learning community is at the fingertips. The technologies utilized provide learners with the unique opportunity to access global resources that may never be accessible in a traditional classroom.
