Abstract

We are living in a world which has come closer with the use of information and technology. Twenty first century is an age of information and communication technology. Today’s world is a world of knowledge and invention. The growth of technology has touched almost everything in the world and changed the course of our life. Life has become much easy and comfortable with the addition of information and technology to our lives. Information and communication technology has also influenced teaching and learning field. The new concepts and teaching techniques have entered into teaching field. The students of this age demand something new in the process of teaching and learning. They can get any information at their fingertips with the help of internet. They can easily enter into the treasure of knowledge with their mobile phones, computers, laptops, tabs having internet connections. Google and wide range of learning apps have provided an opportunity to gather knowledge from any sources available on the internet. Present paper focuses its attention on discussing how e-learning, technological resources and multimedia can be used in teaching and learning process of language.

Introduction

This is the age in which one can demand for the smart class rooms with all multimedia and technological facilities for teaching and learning process. Teaching in this age demands more than age long concept of traditional teaching methods. E-learning and e-education has become need of the day. The entry of e-learning in the field of education has changed the way of teaching learning process. It doesn’t mean that teachers are no more required. Only thing is that a shift has come in the role of teachers and now they have to become facilitators in the era of e-education. The responsibility of a teacher in the present context is to become innovative, creative and resourceful while teaching his students using innovative teaching techniques made available by the technology. The wide range of technological resources has made us much more equipped and smart as a facilitator. Teaching learning process has become pretty much motivating and student friendly with the entry of technological resources. With the use of multimedia and various technological resources teaching and learning process can be made more thought-provoking and valuable. As Gousie states:

In the fast moving world, a variety of new technologies have appeared on the scene. No larger we swept by a wave of methodology; we were swamped by tidal wave of computer assisted technologies. Suddenly the capability of incorporating laserdiscs, hypertext cards, CDs, CD-ROMS and the internet into our syllabi became a reality. (New Methods and Tools for Teaching Foreign Language 9)

Audio-visual aids provide direct sensory experience

Audio-visual aids are important to make teaching and learning process more attention-grabbing. These aids are helpful in retaining the interest of students. These aids provide direct sensory experience to the students. These aids can be made more effective by adding them with the e-learning tools. These aids can be divided as under A) Audio Aids: these teaching aids provide access to the use of audio tools. B) Visual Aids: these aids are used to give visual experiences to the students. C) Audio-Visual Aids: these aids are helpful in providing complete sensory experience to the students. Visual aids help in seeing and understanding the things. Audio aids provide help in hearing exercises and audio-visual aids are combination of both. These aids provide perfect understanding to the students giving direct sensory experience to them. Such audio-visual aids contain TV, video, radio, overhead projector, tape-recorder, graphics, charts, pictures, photographs, flannel boards, bulletin boards, PPT, slides, strips, graphs, CD, DVD etc. Combine use of these things in the classroom increases the interest of the students. Teaching and learning of language becomes more easy and interesting due to ICT. These audio-visual tools added with the e-learning materials make teaching and learning process more effective and fruitful.

Multimedia: a crucial tool in E-learning

As we know almost every kind of information is available on internet. One can get reading material, audio clips, videos, MOODLE classes, distant learning classes, access to the lectures of best teachers in the best universities of the world, appear for online exams and many more such things with the help of use of multimedia in teaching-learning field. Multimedia is the combination of various digital and audio-visual media. It is combination of number of digital media such as text, images, sound and video (multisensory interactive application) to convey a message or information to audience. A good teacher uses some tools other than texts and reference books to make his teaching more effective. The use of technological resources in teaching learning becomes more interesting for the students. One can remember more and more things when one sees, hears and performs something at the same time. Learning through experience gives the maximum results in understanding the topic under study. The topics we learn through experience linger long in our memory. Multimedia is an effective tool which provides us strong sensory experience for lifelong learning. As Prof. Lindstrom says:

People remember 20% of what they hear 40% of what they see and hear and 75% of what they see, hear and do simultaneously. (The Business Week Guide to Multimedia Presentations: 1994)

Need of Multimedia language labs and smart classrooms

The science laboratories are necessary in the schools and colleges. In the same way every school and college should have its own language labs and smart classrooms. Smart classrooms provide complete learning experience to the students. One can create a visual learning environment in the class with the help of smart classroom tools. Along with the smart classrooms, every college and school can prepare and maintain their own multi-media language lab for better teaching and learning of language. The multi-media language lab should focus on sound, text images, videos, animation and interesting context that can be created and accessed from electronic devices such as computer, MP3 Players, Cell phones, TV, Video, Tape recorder and iPods. These language labs should have direct access to the internet so that valuable material related to teaching learning process can be made available in the schools under one roof. Multi-media language lab also helps in development of four language related skills – listening, speaking, writing and reading.

1. Listening: Listening is the first step in the process of language learning. A child starts listening and responding to the various sound right from his existence in mother’s womb. Listening rhymes, poems, recorded lectures, extracts from novels; dramas can prove helpful in enhancing the listening abilities of the students. By watching and listening to movies and dramas student can better learn the language.
2. Speaking: Speaking is the second step in language learning process. After listening and receipting various sounds from the environment a child starts reciprocating them. Speaking can be improved with the help of multi-media language lab by involving students in group discussions, talk-shows, speaking individually on any given topic, extempore speech and debate sessions and other such sessions organized in the lab.
3. Writing: Writing is third and next step in the process of language learning. ICT can be much beneficial to the students to enhance their writing skills. Social networking sites, blogs, web-sites can provide students an opportunity to write and express their own thought which will improve their writing skills. Whats-App and Face book have earned prominent place in the life of youngsters now a days. Students can be inspired to write and share their thoughts in English through these mediums.
4. Reading: Reading is the last step in the process of language learning. All the treasure from the books of the best libraries around the world is available online now a days. Online books and e-journals will enhances the reading habits of students and increase their interest in English language and literature. Thus multi-media language lab can provide students all the facilities regarding audio-visual aids needed for teaching learning process of English language. Thus language lab can be beneficial in developing four basic skills of language learning.

Combination of technological resources with the traditional methods

E-education or e-learning, beyond doubt is the need of present time. A teacher cannot make justice to his teaching without using innovative techniques in teaching and learning process. Being a language teacher he should use various new techniques available for the teaching of the subject. This does not mean that the traditional methods of teaching and learning of language are outdated and one should not use them. A proper combination of both the methods is needed. One should make the proper combination of technological resources with the traditional methods of teaching and learning of English language. While using technological resources in teaching and learning process one should also exercise a little caution and learn where to use it and up to what extent. As Breen remarks:

Technology provides considerable opportunities for interesting and significant developments in language teaching and learning. While this may be as view commonly held by the general public, one should perhaps exercise a little caution. In fact it is arguable that technology can be both a catalyst and retardant for new developments. (Learner’s Contribution to Task Design 23-46)

Conclusion

Change is the only constant process in this world. Understanding the needs of current age; a teacher should bring change in his teaching techniques. One has to change according to the needs of the time. Teaching and learning of language also demands change. This change can be brought with the use of e-education, multimedia and technological resources in teaching and learning process. Understanding the need of e-education one has to adapt the new methods of teaching and learning. Thus the appropriate use of various e-education methods, technological resources and multimedia in teaching and learning of language can make teaching and learning process more effective and meaningful.

ABSTRACT

The technological revolution holds great promise for education. Technology in communication, image and data processing in evolving at lightning speed, while also becoming cheaper and more reliable. The consequences for education are enormous. Technology has gone from being a set of solution in search of a problem to increasingly offering precise and well-defined potential for education. A technological revolution in education is becoming possible, even though it has not yet happened. Technology based education must help to build higher – order cognitive abilities, strengthen processes of inquiry, enable collaborative problem solving, and prepare people to complete in global markets and become productive members of democracies. Technologies are an important part of these approaches and strategies.

“Teaching in the Internet age means we must teach tomorrow’s skills today.”

INTRODUCTION

Current period is termed as digital age in which the information technology has resulted into major transformation in education, services, work and business practices. In the perspective of higher education, the IT based digital intervention has led to the situation where access is no more a challenge and the knowledge is ubiquitous. The on-going expansion of higher education for realizing the targeted gross enrolment ratio of 30 by 2030 has made the situation precarious due to unavailability of good quality teachers in requisite numbers and desired infrastructure support. A look in past indicates that this challenge of quality and infrastructure was realized many decades ago, when video lectures used to be recorded in video cassettes and then in CD ROM for mass usage, which has evolved into e-learning content and YouTube videos due to technological development. Digital learning technology increases student engagement in course, barrier free access to learning materials and the use of adaptive technology in digital content shows definite improvement in their performance.

In recent past, number of digital learning platforms have come up and are being successfully used by students and teachers alike. The degeneration in the class room teaching quality due to non-availability of teachers in both quantity and quality has made it inevitable for the students to look for good quality learning resources through different e-learning platforms like edX by Harward and MIT; Connect , ALEKS -adaptive artificial intelligent learning system, LearnSmart, Create etc. by Mc Graw Hill, NPTEL and online courses by IITs and top Universities of world, Coursera. As per a report, the India’s education market is likely to grow upto $180 billion by 2020 due to the expanding digital learning market and the demographic dividend. The share of digital learning market alone is likely to go up to $5.7 billion by 2020 due to fast expanding number of internet users, which may reach around 550 million by 2020 with about 40 percent penetration in the country’s population. Thus, it is obvious that there exists congenial atmosphere for growth of digital learning and its critical evaluation in the context of our nation is the need of hour.

Some of the positive features of digital learning are as

Access and Equity: Online access to similar learning resources offers the biggest advantage of all time access to all irrespective of their location, race, religion etc. i.e. it is barrier free and of same quality for all. It results in availability of learning opportunity to every human being on this planet earth without any discrimination and every society/community/nation can march ahead for knowledge driven growth. Also, the different learners with different learning capability can access the learning resources as per their capability and limitations.

Affordable: Digital learning is quite affordable as the major cost is usually incurred in the initial phase of setting up of digital learning platform and populating it with learning resources while, the recurring cost of providing access, its maintenance and up gradation are not that large with the prevalent technological solutions. This less price for good quality learning resource with lot of ease makes the digital learning very attractive.

Better engagement: The use of technology in digital learning has an attraction in presentation, and content, which is loved by the learners and leads to their better engagement. It also permits for use of gamification in learning, which really fascinates the learners.

Collaboration: Uniform availability of digital learning resources creates ample opportunities for collaboration and networking amongst different learners and teachers even without meeting physically.

Career development: Digital learning resources facilitate those with the quest to learn at any span of their age and build their career suitably as per the changing industry/society requirements.

Formal and Informal education: Digital learning platforms integrated with certification based on testing through learning assessment tools have potential of being used for both formal and informal type of education.

Mentoring: Conventional formal education system is limited contact type education system and the students fail to get the mentoring as per their need. The digital learning platforms are evolving with the facilitation for as and when mentoring of the learners with minimum response time. It also offers the capability to adapt to the individual’s needs, personalized instructions, personalized doubts removal, and customized instruction based on analysis of learning capability of students and preserving it for continuous improvement using study behaviour and analytics.

Best quality and adaptability: Differing quality of teaching-learning in the conventional class room education is one of the big challenges. This variance in quality leads to varying interests of learners and a perennial desire of being taught by the best teachers in the respective field. Digital learning platforms once populated with the learning resources of requisite quality by the suitable course instructors can be invariably used by all for learning. Thus, the best quality education is available to all through the digital learning platform having the high quality learning resource with them. The quality of digital form of the learning resources has capability of being enriched and upgraded as per fast changing requirements of society/industry and making it available to learners as early as possible.

Teachers’ up gradation: Up gradation of teachers attaining higher age is a challenge in the current education system due to various reasons like social perception, no possible disruption in responsibilities shouldered by them, non-availability of time etc. Digital learning resources can be suitably used by the teachers for their up gradation and improvement without any hesitation and can continue to be a learner at every age, which eventually improves their teaching quality.

Virtual experiencing: Digital learning platforms have potential to offer hands on training to the students through virtual laboratory and industrial working & practices. This hands on working experience leads to better visualization and enhanced creativity of students.

Self-learning: The availability of digital learning resource from different sources for the same subject provides students with opportunity to improve their understanding through different perspectives of educators and proceed with self-learning.

Transparency and feedback: Digital learning platform is capable of keeping complete trail of the learners learning and testing. The electronic form of this learning process management is quite transparent and the feedback mechanism is quite effective. In view of easy availability of electronic version of knowledge resources, the teaching processes have been challenged significantly.

CONCLUSION

The students of present digital era have access to the virtual courses being offered by good quality teachers from different parts of the world and have access to the virtual laboratories, which is leading to the gradual loss of interest amongst students for attending structured classes. The informal delivery of courses in the form of nearly free e-content has limitations due to complete non-contact type learning environment which eventually leaves certain gaps in teaching of the courses. Shifting focus from faculty and their teaching to students and their learning is equally concerning as it leads to social disconnect. Learning hierarchies are not maintained as complete content is accessible and it leads to difficulties in application of knowledge at later stage. It is equally concerning to see that in the country like ours where good quality broadband internet access is in the state of getting expanded, the complete dependence upon digital education cannot be thought of.

Sometimes, the technology becomes a cause of distraction to the learner and paves way for the cheating in assessment processes. It also leads to degradation of handwriting skills of the learners, as they do not get ample writing opportunities. The content creation process involves technology support as well which means that more intellectual capital is required in the content creation and management as compared to the traditional education system which leads to shift in focus from quality to the presentation format and ease of access.

ABSTRACT

This study investigated how E-Learners perception about YouTube as a media in learning. YouTube has become a closest internet website for learners in this century. This study also combined several research perception to be an evidence that YouTube can integrated with learning process. Learners’ perception be a main consideration in this study. This research obtain the data by a questionnaire which contains 4 questions about E-Leaning and YouTube. Their answers will analysed by using Google form. After all, this study will consider data from mean, media, rate, diagrams and percentage of the data. This study shown the result suitable with the expectation of this study.

INTRODUCTION

In this era, learners generally called as Gen Z or generation Z because they were born between 2000 until now. They also known as ‘Digital Natives’ because they were born in digital era. Students who classified as Gen Z are born in the era where technology usage are able to applicate in many aspects of life. They used to face the world by using electronic media in order to solve their problems. They are the true digital natives. They already provided with variants of electronic media since they were babies such as mobile phone, computer, and internet. They also more adaptable with visual ability and more shaped to create visual form of learning. So, in order to find creative and constructive ways for teaching learners in generation Z, integrating technology in teaching more powerful than lecturing them. According to Bouros, Maramba & Wheeler (2006) Many studies showed that the integration of such social media tools has a positive impact on teaching and learning by allowing teachers to actively involve learners by creating knowledge, sharing, and collaborating in the learning process. Moreover, Moran, Seaman, and Tinti-Kane (2011) investigated how today’s higher education faculty use social media for teaching, learning, and sharing, discovering that social media sites can be valuable tools for collaborative learning. Their results showed that online videos from sites such as YouTube are valuable tools for teaching. In other words, using electronic tools is the appropriate way to teach them. According to (Berk, 2009) there are 20 potential learning outcomes to ponder by using video clip, those are:

• Grab’s students’ attention
• Focus’ students concentration
• Generate interest in class
• Create a sense of anticipation
• Energize or relax students for learning exercise
• Draw on students’ imagination
• Improve attitudes toward content and learning
• Build a connection with other students and instructor
• Increase memory of content
• Increase understanding
• Foster creativity
• Stimulate the flow of ideas
• 13. Foster deeper learning
• Provide an opportunity for freedom of expression
• Serve as a vehicle for collaboration
• Inspire and motivate students
• Make learning fun
• Set an appropriate mood or tone1
• Decrease anxiety and tension on scary topic, and
• Create memorable visual images

Those potential learning outcomes investigated by Berk (2009) in two section which are Videos and the brain and multimedia learning

According to Nation (2001), second language learners need to know very large numbers of words as this may be useful for them in the long-term as learning vocabulary should not be a short-term goal. It means that students need many resources that they can used for very long time. The resources come from people who have different background and the way they present their material in the videos so it might be interest students to learn from them. Videos started to use from very long time ago. According to (Berk, 2009) Using videos in teaching is not new. In prehistoric times, cave instructors used 16mm projectors to show cave students examples of insurance company marketing commercials in business courses. Now, even the DVD players are old fashion. Berk (2009) stated that there are four areas that changes in producing video, those are: (a) the variety of video formats, (b) the ease with which the technology can facilitate their application in the classroom, (c) the number of videos techniques an instructor can use, (d) the research on multimedia media learning that provides the theoretical and empirical support for their use as an effective teaching tool. So, in this case, teachers nowadays need to use resource that provide many videos based on those areas. Moreover, according to (Berk, 2009) a video can have a strong effect on your mind and senses. YouTube provide variety of videos and audios which come from many people who have their own experience and knowledge. Even, YouTube provides not just the material for the students, it provides teacher many techniques in teaching, methods that performed by people from different countries.

Furthermore, According to Padmadewi, Artini & Nitiasih (2017) in today’s era of education, every student should have and acquire the skills of 21st century as mentioned in the framework for 21st century learning. They debate that the framework describes the skills, knowledge, and competencies that students need in order to reach successful in their career. Students have to master 3 classifications of skills in 21st century learning such as life and career skills, learning and innovation skills, and information, media, and technology skills. Those 3 classification has sub-skills in every classification, life and career skills covers flexibility and adaptability, initiative and self-direction, social and cross-cultural skill, productivity and accountability, leadership and responsibility. Learning and innovation skills are creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, communication and collaboration. The last one is information, media and technology skills are information literacy, media literacy, ICT- information, communication and technology literacy. Concerning of those classification of skills, teacher and student should have to implement any kind of media and technology in their teaching and learning process.

As discussed before, in order teach students in 21st century or we used to call them as Gen Z, integrating technology in teaching are more powerful rather than lecturing them. Bouros, Maramba & Wheeler (2006) Stated that many studies showed that the integration of such social media tools has a positive impact on teaching and learning by allowing teachers to actively involve learners by creating knowledge, sharing, and collaborating in the learning process. Furthermore, Moran, Seaman, and Tinti-Kane (2011) investigated how today’s higher education faculty use social media for teaching, learning, and sharing, discovering that social media sites can be valuable tools for collaborative learning. E-Learning is the most suitable approach to conduct this theories. Mayes and de Freitas (2007) emphasize that E-learning is the enhancement of existing models of learning which use technology to achieve better learning outcomes (“How do people learn?,” 2005). So, in this case, E-learning is an update from every models in teaching which more effective to be implemented in 21st century.

After all, the media for conducting e-learning are variant. People tend to use a handheld device such as PDAs (personal device assistant) since they were able to connect with network and access what they need anytime and anywhere. Tomlinson (2009) stated that in Africa, mobile users account for 83 per cent of telephone subscribers, a higher proportions than any other countries in the world. South Africa leads the continent in mobile penetration with 36.4 mobile phones per 100 population. It proves that the use of mobile phones already spread into South Africa’s areas. According to (Nezarat & Mosavi Miangah, 2012), Mobile learning is characterized by its potential for learning to be spontaneous, informal, personalized and ubiquitous. They also claimed that Mobile learning tends to use today’s mobile device such as PDA’s, phone, and other handheld devices. In learner daily activities, mobile phone becomes a crucial part of their life. They used it almost in every schedules such as video chat, short message, listening to audio, watching movies, web surfing, shopping and the like. Notice from their habits, students tends to use portable devices to learn new materials rather than taking a lot of time for traditional classroom based courses. Moreover, mobile phone can be the shortcut for increasing their skill in English as a second language. For examples vocabulary, listening, grammar, phonetics, and reading comprehension. Furthermore, (Nezarat & Mosavi Miangah, 2012) state that learning through the mobile phone or m-learning provides the learners with the opportunities to learn although they are in outside of the classroom. They also claimed that among all of the tools that are used in education, mobile phone are the most powerful modern communication devices.

METHOD

This data is a quantitative data. The techniques that would be used are interview and survey to collect data among participants. This technique first introduced by Kaufman & Gupta (1998) and called The Fuzzy Delphi technique (Dewitt, Alias, Siraj, 2013). The Delphi technique used to obtain data from several experts, but we used this technique to collect data from several participants. The first phase to obtain the data is conducting the interview. According to Noraini Idris (2010) in the semi-structured interview process, the questions were formulated in advance, but the sequence and modification of the question were made based on participants’ reactions (Dewitt, Alias, Siraj, 2013). In this case, the first question will directly to the topic. The data which obtained from the previous interview will be used to develop questionnaire which will be used to survey the participants’ opinions. The media that used is Google form. The sample comprises of 34 English Language Education’s students from Ganesha University of Education. After all, the data will automatically analysed by Google form by showing means, median, range, diagrams and percentage of the results.

Based on the data above, in the first question, 33 participants filled in the ‘yes’ column and 1 participant filled in the ‘no’ column. In the second question, 30 participants filled in the “yes” column and 4 participants filled in “no” column. In the third question, 31 participants filled in the “yes” column and 3 participants filled in “no” column. The statistics shown that above 90% participants give a good responses on integrating YouTube as a media in learning process. Moreover, most of the participants’ reasons because they are familiar with YouTube. (Berk, 2009) stated that a video can have a strong effect on your mind and senses. Based on the participants’ reason, they already feel excited with this study which discuss about integrating YouTube with E-Learning. In their perception, YouTube are suitable with learning process nowadays because they already know the media since they were know that YouTube has many materials that they want to explore. YouTube brings the material differently with book that usually used in traditional classroom. (Berk, 2009) emphasized that all courses that use a video clips as an instructional tool brings their students to experience the powerful cognitive and emotional impact.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTION

Conclusion

Like others media and tools, conducting E-Learning activities with YouTube are interested for Gen Z as our target in 21st century. Moreover, the participants in this study claimed that they can achieve 4 skills by watching videos from YouTube, those four skills are reading, speaking, listening, and writing. This study show the engagement of the learners nowadays that they tend to use technology device to learn something rather than sit on the conventional classroom. This is a good chance to spread E-Learning to all learners in 21st century and future teacher to construct their knowledge about teaching their students in future. With so many videos that be able to access by learners, they will never stop to learn something new. Since YouTube established in 2005, YouTube is the most successful internet website providing a new generation of short video sharing service (K, 2007). That is why YouTube known by all learners nowadays and they have a good point of view when E-Learning tend to use YouTube as a learning media.

Suggestion

In view of the limitation in this study have come across, that would be good if there is a chance to conduct a further research with bigger sample size. Further research will obtain more data, findings, and enable to draw a bigger concrete conclusion with E-Learners’ perceptions about YouTube as a media in learning. The period of the study need to be expanded in order to get more valid data, concrete conclusion and clear perceptions from many more participants. Further research need more efforts to get more data and valuable findings.

In this era, learners need to be wise using internet website. Expanding their knowledge by watching educating videos will be a greater chance to spread the belief that using YouTube for learning is valuable and powerful media to educate themselves. In this study, learners are expected to learn anytime and anywhere, not just in the classroom, wherever they want to fill themselves with knowledge, they are able to access what they need. Their intention is also important, with this flexibility, they are expected to grow their intention to learn more and more. YouTube has become the most successful internet website providing a new generation of short video sharing service. Time to time, it will provides more features that can be accessed and used by learners in positive way.

Moran, Seaman, and Tinti-Kane (2011) investigated how today’s higher education faculty use social media for teaching, learning, and sharing, discovering that social media sites can be valuable tools for collaborative learning. As a perspective teacher, adapting ourselves with technology will provide many styles, techniques and method in teaching. Variants in teaching are important, YouTube provides many material that needed to upgrade the way in teaching. Collaborate videos from YouTube in lesson plan may be a good plan for teacher, according to (Berk, 2009) videos are used for teaching already conducted in prehistoric times when a cave instructor use a video to show cave students the example of insurance company and marketing commercial. So, teaching with videos already conducted from long time ago. The good thing is, videos nowadays has far better quality. As a perspective teacher, it is a good chance to maximize the use of YouTube videos to develop their lesson plan.

Education is extremely important in the life of people. Whether it’s online or in a school or college. Nowadays online learning turns out to be more and more practiced around the world due to the current Covid-19 Pandemic. Online Learning represents an easy and comfortable method to achieve knowledge from the comfort of your home. I agree that virtual learning is the better way of learning these days especially due to Covid-19 spreading all across the world.

Online Learning proves to be a good way to learn as well. Students have the choice to study on their own time. It represents a great way to study many fields and subjects and helps to build up self-motivation. Online learning is very effective because students can finish their homework quickly and there is more time left for daily-life activities and hobbies such as household chores and family activities.

A cheap and reliable internet connection is good enough to attend an online class, it makes virtual learning very cheap. This will help people who have financial problems. Virtual learning is the only way for people to study during the current Covid-19 Pandemic. All schools and educational institutes are closed to avoid anyone getting infected by the virus and therefore putting their lives at risk.

Furthermore, Virtual learning gives the opportunity for all people regardless of their nationality and color to communicate with each other and be friends. Students and Teachers are able to communicate through VOIP. Zoom and Microsoft Classrooms have developed to become of the leading virtual learning software’s with a lot of good tools and features for students and teachers.

Virtual learning does indeed have disadvantages as well. Power breakdowns and internet connectivity issues are very common which may make the teacher or student not attend the class. Cheating is also very common in virtual learning as the teacher does not know exactly what you are doing at all times. For some people, the lack of opportunity to express their knowledge in words can make a negative impact on knowledge assimilation.

Education is very important in the life of every person. Without education, no one can get a good job and earn money for themselves and for their family support. Virtual learning is a great way to study during these hard times, it is much safer and cheaper.

ABSTRACT

Personal computers and the Internet have revolutionized entire world. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Skype and other online communications media have allowed billions of people around the world to share ideas in a matter of seconds, mostly at a very low cost. These advances in computer technology are as remarkable as they are familiar. But most people are not aware of how computers and Internet technology are transforming the way students learn. This emerging education paradigm is often called “virtual learning, “and it has the potential to improve student achievement, educational access and schools’ cost-effectiveness.

This study defines, examines, and measures the effectiveness of a virtual learning program as a part of Higher education to enhance the overall learning experience as well as develop the employability skills among the students.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Web-Based Virtual Learning Environments: A Research Framework and a Preliminary Assessment of Effectiveness in Basic IT Skills Training

Internet technologies are having a significant impact on the learning industry. For-profit organizations and traditional institutions of higher education have developed and are using web-based courses, but little is known about their effectiveness compared to traditional classroom education. Our work focuses on the effectiveness of a web-based virtual learning environment (VLE) in the context of basic information technology skills training. This article provides three main contributions. First, it introduces and defines the concept of VLE, discussing how a VLE differs from the traditional classroom and differentiating it from the related, but narrower, concept of computer aided instruction (CAI). Second, it presents a framework of VLE effectiveness, grounded in the technology-mediated learning literature, which frames the VLE research domain, and addresses the relationship between the main constructs.

Virtual learning effectiveness: An examination of the process

This study defines, examines, and measures the effectiveness of a corporate virtual learning program. Initially, distinctions between traditional and virtual learning and university and corporate programs are defined. Then, based on the literature, an integrative model of the perceived effectiveness of a virtual learning environment is developed and examined. The demographics, perceptions, and success of participants in a practitioner certification instruction program sponsored by a Fortune 50 firm are found to be related to persistence and success in the program, as well as to the effectiveness of knowledge transfer. Conclusions and recommendations for further study are offered.

INTRODUCTION

Virtual learning uses computer software, the Internet or both to deliver instruction to students. This minimizes or eliminates the need for teachers and students to share a classroom. Virtual learning does not include the increasing use of e-mail or online forums to help teachers better communicate with students and parents about coursework and student progress; as helpful as these learning management systems are, they do not change how students are taught.

Numerous forms of Virtual learning:

· Computer-Based

Instruction is not provided by a teacher; instead, instruction is provided by software installed on a local computer or server. This software can frequently customize the material to suit the specific needs of each student.

· Internet-Based

This is similar to computer-based instruction, but in this case, the software that provides the instruction is delivered through the Web and stored on a remote server.

· Remote Teacher Online

Instruction is provided by a teacher, but that teacher is not physically present with the student. Instead, the teacher interacts with the student via the Internet, through such media as online video, online forums, e-mail and instant messaging.

· Blended Learning

This combines traditional face-to-face instruction, directed by a teacher, with computer-based, Internet-based or remote teacher online instruction. In effect, instruction comes from two sources: a traditional classroom teacher, and at least one of the forms of virtual learning described above.

· Facilitated Virtual Learning

This is computer-based, Internet-based or remote teacher online instruction that is supplemented by a human “facilitator.” This facilitator does not direct the student’s instruction, but rather assists the student’s learning process by providing tutoring or additional supervision. The facilitator may be present with the learner or communicating remotely via the Web or other forms of electronic communication.

Similar forms of virtual learning are sometimes grouped into broader categories:

· Online Learning

This is any form of instruction that takes place over the Internet. It includes Internet-based instruction; remote teacher online instruction; and blended learning and facilitated virtual learning that involves these two virtual learning methods. It excludes computer-based learning.

· Full-Time Online

This is online learning with no regular face-to-face instruction or facilitation. It is Internet-based and remote teacher online learning only, though it may include some occasional interaction with human teachers and facilitators.

INTERGRATING VIRTUAL LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

All educators can envision learning environments outside of the classroom that would be ideal for their students. For example, as a marketing professor, it would be ideal for me to have my students spend a few days working for a large packaged goods company evaluating new products. However, it is not practical for 70 students to travel 200 miles to the company’s location or to expect the company to be able to accommodate so many students. The reality of these ideal learning environments is most often rendered impractical due to cost, time frame or risk. The answer to many educators’ dreams is computer generated virtual learning environments.

Imagination on ‘Possibilities for Virtual Learning’

1. Virtual Science Environments

A virtual laboratory or field setting would allow a student to conduct experiments or make observations that have physical limitations. For example, a Geology student could monitor equipment on an erupting volcano, a Biology student could study a population of animals in their natural habitat, a Psychology student could experience a clinical ethical dilemma, or a Chemical Engineering student could be asked to design a new production facility at an oil refinery.

2. Virtual Arts Environments

Virtual worlds can be created in any time and any place. For example, a History student could negotiate the Treaty of Versailles, an English student could work as an editor for a Victorian magazine, a Sociology student studying child poverty could design government social programs, or a Fine Art student could authenticate a work of art.

INTEGRATING VIRTUAL LEARNING IN ‘THE S.I.A COLLEGE OF HIGHER EDUCATION, DOMBIVLI’

The S.I.A college of higher education has taken initiative to introduce virtual learning for the students of higher education. Two virtual learning platforms were introduced. The main objective behind introducing this platform was to blend virtual learning in higher education with integration to curriculum and also giving extra knowledge to the students.

Under this platform various interdisciplinary courses were introduced for the students of all the courses. This courses has helped the student to aquire in-depth knowledge about the curriculum related subjects as well as Impart practical knowledge which can be useful for them in order to fit in corporate world.

Apart from this it will also help the students to explore various interdisciplinary areas and get the expertise.

SUGGESTIONS

• Motivate the use of virtual worlds to support experiential learning, where real world experiential learning is difficult to achieve due to barriers of time, cost and place.
• Identification of difficulties and challenges in the educational use of virtual worlds. These may be overcome through future work or help identify where the use of virtual worlds is not appropriate.
• Identification of where the current development or research focus is: pedagogy, collaboration, enquiry‐based learning and identity, etc.

CONCLUSION

Through this study it is found that students are getting acquainted with new virtual learning platforms. It had also helped to create the concept of self-learning among the students in the absence of facilitator physically. The study has also found that students are ready to adopt higher level learning. As Virtual learning is based on Audio-Visual concept so it makes the learning effective.

Compact application joining into e-learning structures to help report and evaluation over various stages for giving reactions is of earnest essentialness in the informational division. Various establishments delay in creating reports for their understudies and this influence show speedy decision is made similarly as assessing their execution both by the association and their people. Access to flexible mechanized contraptions with arranging supports for e-learning are compelled to develop high information move limit media correspondences establishments leaving the remaining isolates and less access to a relationship with such system. What’s more, furthermore there are up ’til now different informational foundations who don’t have their results on the web, prepare or give school brings about a customary way. Most of them use different programming and database to set up their results yet don’t give contributions to structures adequately accessible to understudies from different geographical areas with different access media interchanges organizations. To deal with the above-communicated issue, this work gave the periods of plan and progression of online result gateway system to support helpful, convincing and successfully open data sources. The structure supervises understudy academic records and creates reports for examination on understudy execution and contributions for understudies, watchmen, etc. This system has both on the web and detached capacities regarding the web and this made it proper for both nation and urban use for various schools. The passage structure gives minute access to educational reports similarly as a phase for reports age.

E-learning arrangements are accepting a basic activity in the way we pass on activities and give contributions to our enlightening structures in current time. With all of these responsibility of massive online open courseware systems and e-learning stages, only an automated zone of our overall population with better use to specific media transmission organizations have busy with the determination and seems to benefit by the dedication of e-learning instruments with dynamic substance capacities. These are those with higher openness to consistent power supply and high data transfer capacity organize framework and further with access to gadgets with abilities to help web2.0 advances. . Notwithstanding the way that learning structures are supported today in hybrid shapes than to unadulterated e-learning movement subordinate in regards to the issue being told and when everything is said in done, the recently referenced elements, for instance, receptiveness to such advancements limits doesn’t exist much of the time. Accordingly for specific organizations for most e-learning structures needs a cross stage approach to manage support interoperability between these applications, so a cross stage undertakings can be enough deployable, for instance, understudies getting their assessments as SMS organizations, portion of costs by methods for flexible money organizations, watchmen getting to gives a record of understudies by methods for versatile organizations, visits assessable by methods for SMS, application organizations, etc. Thusly in our strategy, we consolidated our structure with the ultimate objective that report organizations and various kinds of reactions can be accessible using disparate contraptions.

E-Learning can be shown as an product reply for educational purposes, which relies upon theoretical estimates, slants in abstract science, man-made cognizance, and instructing method. The Learning Management System approach in formal guidance molded an explanation behind a reliable eLearning stage that followed checks and best practices they are recommended by acceptable enlightening and corporate accomplices in the creating e-Learning market. Such an answer is utilized in instructive offices for the plan and execution period of courses that help homeroom preparing .

E-taking in has been experiencing changes from its reality regarding its adjustment and incorporation of new advances also the figuring in of the necessities of the student. It has risen up out of being an extreme thought – the viability of which was yet to be demonstrated – to something that is broadly viewed as standard for supporting lesson conveyance. It is the center to various marketable strategies and an administration offered by most schools and colleges. What’s more, presently, e-learning has been advancing with the World Wide Web in general [3]. As for cutting edge instruction, a regularly expanding number of data are available on the enthusiasm for electronically passed on cutting edge training, or advanced training. Factual reviewing revelations will all in all be held immovably by monetary researchers and their clients. Data are available in the open space yet enthusiasm for cutting edge instruction has been on the development and similarly as enthusiasm for e-propelled training. The rapid joining of different stages to support particular contraptions and empowering systems in the insightful condition is a test inside the field of information development due to rapidly creating progresses. In the field of acknowledging, where learning the officials systems are used for courses progression, their mix with various stages and applications are getting the opportunity to be captivating, explicitly with automated vaults.

Díaz, Francisco Javier, et al. in their work portrayed the joining of Moodle with the DSpace archive. The joining procedure comprised of two phases, so as to set up full correspondence to and from the store. The correspondence from Moodle to the storehouse was accomplished by exchanging components. Their new stage executed a particular module so as to set up correspondence the other way and permit exchanging assets from the LMS to the storehouse. The module turned out to be helpful for instructive material that can be made freely accessible through an archive and in this way rising above the fringes of an instructive domain.

The dedication of eLearning in numerous homerooms nowadays with the most notable one, Moodle, has changed the learning and demonstrating experiences of both the understudy and the educator independently. Following a long time of the utilization of learning the administrators systems in homerooms, indicating practice, there has been creating stressed over the understudy correspondence and analysis affinities with these structures.

In crafted by Hölbl, M., and T. Welzer, they presented the experiences and delayed consequences of a survey with respect to Moodle and eLearning. They explored the trades capacities of Moodle. They further showed an assessment of understudies’ info affinities using Moodle concerning the assessing of educators, indicating accomplices and the course all things considered and besides explored understudy’s general slant on eLearning and experiences with particular issue while using Moodle they researched understudy usage of Moodle’s correspondence limits. Tragically, it was detectable that understudies are not as prepared and energized as their instructors to use correspondence capacities in Moodle, particularly impelled web 2.0 correspondence segments like social events, talks, web diaries, and wikis. One of the results is showed up in the graph in figure one underneath. Most of these segments are at a high rate unused by the understudies assessed understudies. The clarifications behind such direct of understudies were found to show up as something different..A genuinely high level of understudies guarantee that they were currently acquainted with the particular correspondence abilities. This was somewhat unforeseen since similar abilities were utilized by understudies every day at other website pages (for example at the personnel’s site page). Different reasons why understudies don’t utilize correspondence abilities included absence of time or basically that they would prefer not to utilize them.

In giving an amazing stage to analysis on results by methods for organizations, for instance, SMS, etc we proposed a system that regulates understudy educational records and makes reports for assessment on understudy execution and contributions for gatekeepers, understudies in SMS talk conversations, etc. This structure has both on the web and detached capacities as for the web and this made it sensible for both common and urban use for various schools. The passageway structure gives minute access to educational reports similarly as a phase for reports age.

In giving an astounding stage to examination on results by techniques for associations, for example, SMS, and so on we proposed a framework that directs understudy instructive records and makes reports for appraisal on understudy execution and commitments for guardians, understudies in SMS talk discussions, and so on. This structure has both on the web and detached capacities as for the web and this made it sensible for both common and urban use for various schools. The passageway structure gives minute access to educational reports similarly as a phase for reports age. Direct observations of processes were done as well.

The last application has capacities of preparing messages from SMS administrations to discussions, ready students on assignments, and they give feedback to and from understudies. The System likewise scatters data to guardians/gatekeepers to get data on understudy progress and exceptional needs by connecting with comprehensive new methodologies of parent’s association in direction and guiding procedure of the understudy. The framework connects the distance between different application correspondences. students in-country networks just as guardians who don’t approach advanced cells can likewise get some degree of criticisms and reports from the assembled framework.

When is the time we ever stop learning? We adapt to the digital era by learning, and it also adapts the way we learn. We used to rely on traditional learning because it was the most efficient way of learning. E-learning, a new form of learning we implement starting this digital era. E-learning manifest some new possibilities, it is more cost-friendly, it lessens limitation, better accessibility to learning materials.

The cost of learning varies dramatically, depending on the learning method. Cost of learning methods is affected by various factors. To reduce transportation fees, the student must rent a unit around the school, which is costly. “For many college students, living costs may exceed the cost of tuition and fees, as affordable housing options are becoming increasingly hard to find.” (Screenivasa, Wise, 2019). However, transportation fees and rental will not be a burden for e-learning student. In addition, usually, traditional learning could be more expensive compare to e-learning when it comes to the fees of learning materials and tuition fees. E-learning is more cost-friendly as there are fewer expenses.

Both learning methods have their own limitations. According to Singh (2019), traditional learning process is carried out in a supervised environment. Li, Qi, Wang and Wang (2014) claimed that The learning behaviour in a supervised environment tends to be passive. It is confined to a fixed time period and a particular location for students to be present to attend lectures. Space and times do not limit e-learning, students can attend the lecture through the internet from anywhere, anytime they want, providing them more flexibilities. E-learning covers a broader range of practices (Bates, 2005, p.9). However, attending lectures through internets is one of the advantages of e-learning method and it is also a limitation. If some students have a limited amount of internet access, exercises and participation they received will be less compared to others (University of Illinois Springfield, n.d.). Although both learning methods have limitations, the limitation of e-learning is easier to overcome in today’s advanced world.

Learning materials play a significant role in learning, it helps people to have a better understanding. In the case of traditional learning method, it requires a textbook and it is costly. The textbook will eventually be outdated, damaged or lost. Eventually leading students to buy a new textbook. E-book usually cost less than the physical textbook, as there is no need for printing and delivery expenses. Also, it does not require maintenance, it will update to the latest version automatically, and students can review it whenever they want. The e-book has a greater value against the traditional textbook inefficiency.

Everything considered, although there are some advantages only traditional learning can provide, the fact of e-learning being much efficient is undeniable. We might not be able to completely adapt to e-learning now, but it is definitely the future way of learning. E-learning created many new paths for us to explore, it allows us to study ably.

E-Learning is learning utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom (Elearningnc.gov, 2019). South Africa’s public education system is going through massive transformation, moving away from limited educational opportunities based on race and poverty levels to social and educational inclusiveness.

Most of e-learning systems are oriented to support higher academic levels of education. However, soon after the universities, many high schools also have implemented e-learning systems as an additional option to the traditional educational process(Nikolova et al 2008).

The idea of e-learning is to empower learners to absorb personal accomplishment, basic schooling or to obtain a certificate, without actually attending the school or any other academic institute(Edsys, 2019). The major advantage of e-learning lies in its flexibility and ability to cover distances(Van Thinh, 2016).

From a secondary school’s perspective, E-learning frees up school resources, enabling teachers and teacher aides to focus on students who need even more help and can be used to deliver extension courses for bright, motivated students to further accelerate their learning(The Yale Tribune, 2019). According to Temitope (2015), e-Learning alleviates educators’ workload; it allows more interactions between educators and learners; and it makes teaching and learning resources more available.

According to Arkorful and Abaidoo (2014), The disadvantages of e-learning include:

Deterioration of institutions’ socialization role and also the role of instructors as the directors of the process of education.

Since tests for assessments in e-learning are possibly done with the use of proxy, it will be difficult, if not impossible to control or regulate bad activities like cheating.

When it comes to improvement in communication skills of learners, e-learning as a method might have a negative effect. The learners. Though might have an excellent knowledge in academics, they may not possess the needed skills to deliver their acquired knowledge to others.

To curb the problem of students taking notes or cramming when a teacher delivers a lesson in class, the Gauteng Education MEC launched a digital e-learning platform at a Soshanguve East Secondary School on the 16th of October (Mahlase, 2019). While it has many benefits, the e-learning approach also faces many challenges. As is well known, a significant segment of the population still does not have access to the Internet or lacks the required IT skills(Shraima and Khlaifb, 2010). This places into question the e-readiness of south african schools to allow for the widespread adoption of E-Learning technologies.

The World Bank (2002) categorizes e-readiness criteria into four components: Connectivity (the quality and extent of Internet infrastructure), Capability (a country’s ability to deliver and consume e-Learning), Content (the quality and pervasiveness of online learning materials) and Human capacity Policy and Cultural environment whereby the legal and regulatory environment affecting the ICT sector is considered, and finally the size of the ICT sector.

South Africa currently ranks 46th and 75th globally on a variety of metrics termed ‘readiness for the Fourth Industrial Revolution’(Janse van Rensburg, 2019). We can therefore deduce that there is an immense load of research and implementation work that needs to be carried out across the country. The sole purpose of said research and relative work is to bring the country to a more formidable ranking within the readiness scale, in order to provide adequate value and support to our high school students. Since most of the research on the topic of E-Learning is targeted at Higher education, this study aims to contribute to enhancing our understanding within the high school domain.

Electronic Educational Technology additionally called E-Learning entrance are being utilized more by school, universities, colleges and even individual teacher so as to manufacture a learning environment through Knowledge Sharing. Learning organizations gather enormous measure of data which ought to smother information the executives and information duplication adequately. For this reason, information engineering should offer a methodical technique to reuse and share the current information. This paper consequently builds Taxonomy from a lot of catchphrases for information sharing, reuse and information seek in which the developed scientific categorization ought to be free from other information arrangement. An arrangement technique utilized in developing scientific categorization is Bayesian Rose Tree and K-mean closest neighbor classifier, with the goal that the quantity of discrete qualities will build the execution of information mining model as far as order exactness. The created ordered technique and scientific categorization can be connected in reality information for effective information seek.

E-Learning gateway is a site that contains enormous proportion of data which is altogether gainful for understudies or agents at an affiliation. It may demonstrate online courses, anticipated classes, associations with website, looking functionalities, etc. Generally, most by far of E-Learning passages have been compelled to keep up supposition related with understudy’s data and not giving an over the top measure of thought on understudy’s tendencies.

Nowadays, E-Learning door are being presented progressively more by universities, junior schools, schools, associations, and even individual instructors in order to add web development to their courses and to overhaul customary eye to eye courses . E-learning gateway systems gather an enormous measure of data which is really huge for surveying the understudies’ execution and could make a gold mine of enlightening data . Generally, a substantial bit of understudy showing structures have been limited to keep up doubts related with understudy’s data (acquired in the midst of assessment works out) not paying an unreasonable measure of thought to understudy’s tendencies. A particularly reassuring methodology towards this examination objective is the usage of learning logical arrangement before applying data mining strategies. Consequently information logical arrangement methodology and information requested ways are essential to gather a data establishment and incredible data examination. Data logical order offers a couple of techniques to engage required data segments to be looked fast and besides it offers a couple of points of interest for adaptable procedures to comparable data segments in a solitary game plan system, for instance, examination, true envisioning, and backing.

In dealing with space express inquiries into pecking request can help better understanding and improve inquiry yield. Dynamic structures are fundamental in various controls. The advantage of different leveled gathering is that it makes tree structure which fuses topic chains of significance in substance anyway the matched branch may not be the best model to depict enlightening accumulation in much application. At any rate when the target record is broad, multi-branch gathering may sensible. Starting at now there are various multi-branch gathering computations . The system proposed by Adams and Knowles rely upon Dirichlet spread tree.

In this paper we receive Bayesian rose tree calculation for learning scientific classification enlistment and the remainder of the paper is organized as pursues, in area 2 we clarify the earlier work of scientific categorization utilizing Multi-branch Clustering. In segment 3 we talk about a methodology of multi-branch bunching with precedent. In area 4, structure of progressive Clustering utilizing Bayesian Rose Tree calculation is actualized. In area 5 automatic Taxonomy is built and tested utilizing E-learning application lastly the paper is finished with end and future work.

In the zone of data mining much work has been focused on Taxonomy enrollment. On account of the enthusiastic augmentation of available data and information, customers has also delivered an extended excitement for using logical characterizations to structure information for more straightforward organization and rescue (Hunter, ND; Lambe, 2007). In the corporate world, learning authorities spend some place in the scope of 11 and 13 hours seven days searching for and separating information (Whittaker and Breininger, 2008). Greater and greater stores of cutting edge information and data require more ways to deal with empower individuals to recover unequivocally what they need at some irregular moment (Malafsky, 2009). A key ideal position of logical characterization is that, when information is productive and dependable over an affiliation, staff will contribute less vitality looking and scrutinizing, with the result that they upgrade their examination appreciation and impact their capacities (Serrat, 2010). Pincher (2011) sets that, without a logical characterization proposed for securing and supervising, or one that reinforces better chasing, a wide scope of the official’s systems in an affiliation are about inconsequential. Melding both learning and setting in logical order building isn’t simple (Ryan P. Adams, Zoubin Ghahramani and Michael I. Jordan, 2012). Twofold Trees worked from Hierarchical gathering computation may not be the best model in various applications (Xiting Wang, Shixia Liu, Yangqiu Song and Baining Guo, 2013). Dynamic Clustering counts havea extraordinary comparability measures to make a Taxonomy from a great deal of Key words (Xueqing Liu, Yangqiu Song, Shixia Liu and Haixun Wang, 2014). Appeared differently in relation to Binary trees, Multi-branch trees have a fundamental and better interpretability.

Electronic educational systems assemble huge proportions of understudy data, from web logs to considerably more semantically rich data encased in understudy models. Different leveled gathering is a for the most part used model for provoking logical order from set of watchwords. The benefit of Hierarchical gathering is that it makes a tree structure which is definitely not hard to interpret. Different leveled Clustering system social event’s variety of data’s by making a dendrogram. The created tree is certainly not a singular course of action of packs, rather amazed measurement chain of significance, where bunches at one measurement are joined at another measurement. This licenses picking the element of collection that is most sensible for our application. Figure1 gives a model. The goal here is to make data Taxonomy from set of watchword phrases. In the figure file set-A (DSA) and record set-B (DSB) are clearly same anyway report set-C (DSC ) is dissimilar.

E-learning approach is regarded as a recommended approach, if it is adept enough to observe users and interrupted with specific domain [16]. An E-learning system is acting based on the knowledge that specifies the context of adaptation. The Taxonomy is designed to support various learning models and theories. The general purpose knowledge we use is Probes which has been verified useful for web search. Probase’s core taxonomy contains about 2.7 million impressions involved from a mass of 1.68 billion online pages. Beyond the core taxonomy, Probase is able to integrate information from varied sources by understand the data using the knowledge in its core taxonomy. The reason that Probase is able to gather large amount of information is because of its probabilistic character. In figure 2, the browser affords a search interface for concepts, and shows a concept’s is-a hierarchy, its instances (entities), and its related notions.

A user’s query may be syntactically and semantically parsed to identify meaningful term. As shown in figure 3, we conceptualize “students Query” by categorizing there subject interest. We consider four students with various interests. The graph shows their overall search queries about the subject’s topics on a scale of 1 to 5. As we can see each student provides various no. of search queries, based on which the data is provided to him/her. These queries are considered as our “Input data” and the provided notes based on the topics as considered as “Clustered information”.

We observe the work presented as initial and improvement can be done to pursue in many directions. First, we can use other sensitive Hashing method to improve the search accuracy. Second, we can also apply our automatic constructed Taxonomy method to real world application to improve the effectiveness of search. Third, our proposed method is based on the current user query. Moreover, the modified query is based on Boolean search and our method can be applied to any database which support Boolean search.

By means of this paper, we showcase a grouped technique that automatically hypotheses Taxonomy utilizing a list of key-words. We analyzed automatic constructing method based on keyword co-occurrence is not so easy to resolve an optimize threshold due to lower conditional probability. We project a procedure of conceptualization and also that of mine-context from the data received from numerous search-engines, after which we persuade novel taxonomy utilizing the method proposed by Bayesian Rose tree and steered a group of experiments to expand the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Shattering the geographical boundaries and freely diffusing the essence of knowledge, wisdom and practical indulgence across the globe, the bird of e-learning has thoroughly prepared and set a lot of fledglings free to discover the real competition. Those who have tasted the lemon of the traditional Indian education system, even for a few years, probably know how tough it is to get through the ashes of cut-throat employment scenarios today. Probably, all we required is not blaming, but a full-fledged solution that can assist the present day, multitasking students to master certain skill sets that will probably assist them to flourish in future. And of course, e-learning rolled aside this toughest stone in the way of Indian education system!

But what is e-learning anyway?

Prevailing since years now, it’s probably not a new context to get acquainted with! Yet again, it’s a unique blend of technology with the prevailing traditional education system which brings out a significant concept of advanced learning, also termed as e-learning. Here is how it has effectively engaged uncountable Indian students, who couldn’t manage to get through the complete path of the traditional education system due to their ever-growing responsibilities, or family and personal complications. And also, how it is expected to change the education traits in future!

Opening up wider prospects for professionals and workers – due to increasing financial complications, especially in middle class, or below middle-class families, Indian students tend to opt for diploma courses instead of opting for full-time professional’s degrees.

Moreover, in the run for earning little wages right since early ages, they drop down the sword of education that can make them win huge battles and placements. They end up turning into an occupied individual who carries the family’s responsibility on shoulders, at the young ages of 19-20. With e-learning, students now can simply follow their passion for learning more, getting qualified and educated while continuing with their jobs sideways. As there is no burden of attending classrooms on time, the flexible online learning classes make things best for the upcoming generation with a busy lifestyle.

Diverse courses, engaging alternatives and a great understanding of the subject matter- whichever be the stream of learning, none of us love to stay in the same boring classroom, at the same time of the day and facing the same boring lecturer every day! Instead of being skeptical, scholars with a futuristic vision are opting for e-learning solutions as it keeps monotonousness at bay! With multiple kinds of content including audio-visual lessons, machine learning and artificial intelligence paving its way, the education system, and their engagement levels are growing big time.

Added on, is the availability of courses that you never found in the local universities, and your parents didn’t allow you to relocate for pursuing them. They are now just a touch away from your handy gadget’s screen!

Making global connect simpler, bringing flexibility and comfort on your doors, and by providing an eco-friendly lifelong learning method, e-learning is surely going to be the future of the Indian education system.
