Must Read: A flower petal approach to e-learning - Hindu BusinessLine

Search, select, explore, test, collaborate, analyse, create, discuss, apply, understand, synthesise, and promote. E-learning, for starters, is defined simply as `online access to learning resources, anywhere and anytime.' E-learning offers new opportunities to both educators and learners, aver Holmes and Gardner.
