Abstract:
Digital learning in developed countries provides the learners with an interactive mode in a
successful way, but in the case of developing countries such as India access to computer is
limited to a few elite urban areas. Erratic power interruption, unaffordable investment cost
for a normal citizen and obsolete software are some of the bottlenecks preventing for
popularization of the eEducation. Although India tops the global list of software experts
including teaching, their expertise could not be optimally utilized for the spread of eEducation
due to the above-mentioned shortcomings. eEducation is about bringing education to
people instead of taking people to education. It includes delivery of subject courses and
training via electronic media. This paper addresses the important aspects and merits of
eEducation through distance mode at an affordable cost for developing countries such as
India.
