In the last years teaching and learning a variety of subjects via computer and the internet became very popular. You only need to have access to the internet to be able to retrieve an unlimited amount of knowledge. Teaching by the internet is also sizable business, many people earn a lot of money when someone wants to conveniently and remotely do a course, training or even full studies. You no longer need to be physically present at the lecture room, just turn on the video conference with the teacher. Of course it is difficult for distance learning to fully replace the traditional education because it still has many limitations, but surely it is the perfect way to supplement certain deficiencies.
Remember, e-learning in itself does not contain all the necessary elements, real time learning covers much larger area.
What is e-learning? What are its characteristics? It's different techniques and technologies for learning, it's the teaching in the sense of electronic technology but in a much greater extent then in the past (traditional computer training). E-learning is also the concept of greater importance than current, regular education online. E-learning is is primarily a flexible teaching. Very often it works as addiction and it's combined with traditional forms of learning. Such mixed courses can be very convenient alternative, especially for those who who want to combine studying and working because they enable people to choose between the time for studying and the time for work.
