Why Have E-Learning Platform

Why Have A Learning Platform

• The schools now have networked, broadband access that enables pupils and teachers to access information and resources within the school

• The challenge now is to extend the school's network so that it offers access to learning resources, online storage and tools for communication and management not just within school, but from outside it too, through a learning platform
