Premesis of virtual learning

A great advantage of e-Learning is that it allows to learn everywhere and everytime. With e-Learning international discussions between students, teachers, scientists ect. are possible, too. Furthermore e-Learning is interactive which can be a very motivating aspect for students.

Nevertheless the personal contact is missing in a e-Learning setting. Surely face-to-face contact and discussions are important for many people to keep them active in a learning process.

I think e-Learning is a good addition to presence learning, but can´t substitute it.

For some settings like adult education and training for people who are working, children in hospital or for children who live in places far-off where there are no schools e-Learning is a great opportunity.
