1EFFICACY OF E-LEARNING IN EDUCATION SYSTEMINTRODUCTIONE-learning refers to a kind of learning process that involves technological application.Principles emanating from cognitive science emphasize the importance regarding selectionand application of appropriate multimedia to enhance the cognitive learning in order to retainthe knowledge for long time (Clark &Mayer, 2016)..In today’s technology driven world, the importance of e-learning is undeniable as itnot only imparts knowledge to the learner through the technical apparatus but also create longterm impact in their mind. The method is helpful in bringing the student to the contact ofoutside world broadening their mental horizon and continuously reshaping it.
