e-Learning in the 21st Century

The 21st century have proven to be another step in further expanding the already growing internet, as many value the benefits it has brought fourth. It may have seen impossible to have a conversation "face to face" from the other side of the world, but technology and the internet have made this possible with the use of webcams and software like Skype. Students are also now able to study University from the comfort of their own home, with just a computer and an internet connection. Students will also get the same support as they would if they were in a classroom, with support from students and teachers on forums, Skype and chat. There are also many other resources the teachers provide to students including PowerPoint slides, links to websites, images and the use of video sharing sites such as Vimeo and YouTube .
