E-learning is a technology which supports teaching and learning using a computer web technology.

E-learning theory describes the cognitive science principles of effective multimedia learning using electronic educational technology.

Cognitive research and theory suggest that selection of appropriate concurrent multimedia modalities may enhance learning, as may application of several other principles.

E-learning has developed very fast due to internet. The internet and the world wide web has provided us with easy access to

information and knowledge. It is mostly associated with activities involving computers and interactive

networks simultaneously . The computer does not need to be the central element of the activity or

provide learning content . It bridges the gap between a teacher and a student in different ways.
