E-learning is full of materials that can be delivered on a CD-ROM or DVD, 
over local area network or on the Internet. It includes distance or on-line. The 
major advantage is its easy 
access in a setting free from time and place. there 
are multimedia forms as audio and video. The learner can 
assess the progress.
There are many advantages of online and computer-based learning 
compared to traditional face to face courses and lectures:
• students may have the option to select materials suitable to their level of 
knowledge and interests; 
• students can study anywhere they have access to a computer and an 
Internet connection;
• 
students who want to successfully complete online or computer-based 
courses should take responsibility for their learning.
But there are a few disadvantages as well:
• 
learners with low 
motivation or bad study habits may fall behind;
• 
without the routine of a traditional class, students may get lost or confused 
about course activities and deadlines;
• 
students may feel isolated
from the instructor and classmates;
• instructors may not always understand when students need help;
• 
there is a slow internet connection.
