e-Learning requires a minimum
level of computer knowledge

Although e-Learning has many benefits for students and organizations, it also has limitations:

  • Computer literacy and access to equipment. Any e-Learning system involves basic equipment and a minimum level of computer knowledge in order to perform the tasks required by the system.
  • Some topics are not appropriate for e-Learning. Certain subjects that require physical activity and practice, such as sports and public speaking, are not good candidates for e-Learning. However, e-Learning can be a useful companion to traditional education for teaching background and technical information.
  • The flexibility and student-centered nature of e-Learning requires a high level of student responsibility. A successful e-Learning student must be well organized, self-motivated, and possess good time management skills.
