Abstract :
Internet has played an important role in restructuring the education by introducing e-learning. Electronic learning has multiple benefits like convenience of use, private learning facility, cost effectiveness and provision of virtual environment. It gives users the ability to collect quantifiable and sensible information material. They can examine, distribute and customize e-learning knowledge from multiple e-learning sources. Intelligent agent based e-learning provide a common infrastructure to absorb variedsoftware components. This research study shows a comparison of different e-learning techniques which facilitates and assists the instructor (teacher) and learner(student) by providing electronic assistance with certain beneficial features. A detailed survey of layered architectural techniques has also been presented in this regard which depicts beneficial outcomes for successful e-learning sessions.
