Abstract

E-Learning can be defined as the use of computer and Internet technologies to deliver a broad array of solutions to enable learning and improve performance. E-Learning has been beneficial for employee Training, updating, developing specific skills among the employed professionals, among students and youngsters. Approximately 77% of U.S. companies offer online training as a way to improve their employee’s professional development. E-Learning has been useful for varied purposes and its features are generally suitable for people with any learning style. Lots of research has been undertaken in order to identify the perfect design for developing e-Learning modules based on purpose and the target audience. E-Learning is not limited to formal and well-defined courses alone; it has its own space for the Learners with a contemporary thought about self Learning. It also encompasses other forms of learning, such as learning at home or learning at work through e-mentoring and e-coaching. This article tries to portray the current scenario of the e-Learning practices and focuses on some of the major areas that need to be considered in designing a suitable learning management system (LMS). The article summarizes the role of artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the virtual learning environment in e-Learning.
