E-learning has advanced the learning methods and assisted numerous students of all ages as well as tutors and professors to succeed in a better understanding of various topics. E-learning further provides equal opportunities by eliminating distances and inclusion barriers. Within a few years only, traditional educational systems have radically changed with the introduction of technology and the Internet as assistive learning tools. This affected and finally altered the process in which teaching is broadcasted (tutors) and received (students).

Even if there are various approaches and studies on how to reach a higher level of personalization related to the receivers, the need to approach the precise needs is imperative. A successful approach needs to consider both intellectual and the emotional factors, provide exact information and offer a personalized learning path per subject.

E-learning represents the upward impulse for teaching and learning for the future that will assure that students evolve and benefit from their educational experience for their lives. Everything that does not evolve in our universe degrades over time. The economy, culture and prosperity of a country are bound to the level of evolution of its children and students.

• From a learning perspective, many instructors have reached the conclusion that the new media and interactive tools that are currently available facilitate the treatment of examples and cases in a way that would not have been viable using traditional means.

The incorporation of e-learning methods in teaching forces the instructor to rethink many aspects of his/her teaching methods as it is imperative to have a clear structure, to formulate clear goals in the eLearning modules for them to be accepted and to be effective.

One of the initiatives we have fallen in love with are the free courses at Coursera, who would have thought that EA’s Founders will ever learn how to write songs from Berklee?
