The role of technology in the educational sector is increasing at a phenomenal rate and has revolutionised traditional forms of teaching-learning processes. Different types of technological tools have been developed to cater to the diverse backgrounds and demands of learners of higher education. One of the important technological innovations is e-learning which may be described as the application of broadband internet and computers to assist teaching and learning. Many e-learning tools like blogs, wikis, specialised software, etc have become common today. This article discusses the broad features of e-learning and its benefits in the educational field. It also considers pedagogic principles and how to integrate them with e-learning in order to make teaching-learning more effective. Attention is also drawn to the fact that while using e-learning tools, the learners do not become overwhelmed by the technology of these tools at the expense of academic content and practices. E-learning should be used to supplement and not supplant traditional forms of teaching-learning. Some practical applications of different e-learning tools by a higher educational institute are also referred to.
