E-learning allows learners to complete educational objectives with ease and flexibility as opposed to traditional classroom-based learning.

Audio and video lectures, presentations, assessment, assignments, polls, surveys, reading materials, and multiple choice answer questions are among the common course content available.

An LMS is used to publish the courses online. Course instructors may streamline their e-learning course material using an LMS, allowing learners to access it in just one location.
