Risen Jayaseelan | The Edge Daily

On paper, e-learning or web-based tertiary education offers myriad advantages. It provides quality education at low prices and is able to reach large numbers of people. It is particularly suited to the working individual who is able to log on for 'lectures' or chat with his lecturers or course mates without having to disrupt his career.

In reality, however, tertiary education via e-learning is perceived as second rate. Reasons: The quality of e-learning graduates has yet to be proved; institutions providing e-learning aren't as established as traditional universities; and there is a school of thought that reckons that in education, technology tools cannot and should not replace the face-to-face experience gained from a classroom environment.
