Abstract:
E-learning is defined by the New Zealand Ministry of Education as “learning that is enabled or supported by the use of digital tools and content. It typically involves some form of interactivity, which may include online interaction between the learner and their teacher or peers. E-learning opportunities are usually accessed via the internet, though other technologies such as CD-ROM are also used in e-learning.” It would be an extremely rare tertiary institution that does not have a Learning Management System (LMS) for online delivery and a body of students already using it in their courses. Foundational to the strategic success of e-learning is an understanding that education institutions are based on systems. From the above study, the researcher has an idea that E-learning provides greater opportunities for the students to learn. It is better than the traditional method of learning. It brings a new kind of concrete experiences for the students of higher secondary school. Therefore, the researcher desires that more number of educational institutions should teach the topic Chemistry by using on-line method and make the process of teaching and learning more effective based on the usage of internet facility, usage of internet, number of hours spent and number of times visited in the Assessment scores to maintain the Assessment of E-learning in chemistry.
