Abstract(s)
Teachers and students in higher education are coming to realize that to become competent
practitioners there is need to take advantage of up-to-date digital technologies and learning
practices. Learning process requires measurement and evaluation of students behaviour. In the case
of e-learning evidence is sought for improvements resulting from the use of online tools and
processes desired to achieve a given set of learning outcomes. In this 21st century, knowledge is fast
becoming a powerful engine in life. The visions, innovations, and inventions are the building blocks
of developing knowledgeable and sustainable society. E-learning has facilitated the use of a plethora
of internet and web-based applications as the method of communication with a distributed
audience. Therefore, institutions of higher learning are constantly venturing into new and innovative
methods and are radically changing the educational practice making it competitive. Some schools of
thought are of the opinion that the present structure of materials as used in e-learning unlike
turning the pages of a book lacks some degree of interactivity and pedagogical strategy. This makes
students feel that the contents are static and uninteresting.
