ABSTRACT

In today's modern world of rapid development and expansion, individuals make way for doing their work for the purpose and objective of undertaking studies on a virtual portal. Online education has now become one of the most important and effective forms of individuals, who require effective, yet efficient study portals and virtual education. This paper shall help us understand and comprehend the accounts of online education and shall help us highlight the credibility of online education in the light of virtual schools in today's modern world.

Given that e-learning is such a revolutionary tool and that access to education should be a right and not a privilege, the challenge therefore is how to maintain and further cultivate the growth of e-learning whilst making it cost efficient, beneficial, affordable and therefore accessible to the average student, the small and medium enterprises (SME's) and to the private individual. The answer to this could lie in technology itself.
