E learning if planned and executed can turn out into a very effective tool of learning. The learning module for each topic/sub topic should have all the vital ingredients to complement the efforts of the teacher. The world around us is three dimensional and so the application of 3-D brings the real 3-D world within reach of the learner. The learner gets well researched condensed material to study. The availability of E content enables the learner to make selection of topic timing of viewing at his own convenience. Not only this, the learner can repeatedly view the content till he has understood the concept. After going through the content the learner can carry out self-assessment to monitor his progress. This is an excellent option for a slow learner for it avoids embarrassment in the classroom and adds to his self-confidence. In addition this gives the learner a feeling of being in command. The learning objects also include simulations that help the learner to practice the content. The interactive nature of simulations ensures that the learner is no more a silent listener. The links provided help the learner to explore the topic beyond the confines of the course. The hyperlinks ensure that the learner does not have to open up different books, dictionary etc., for reference. All these advantages make E learning most desirable tool of learning which overcomes most of the barriers of communication.
