Abstract

The study investigated “Effectiveness of E-Learning modules on creativity and achievement in computer science of Higher Secondary School Students”. The objective of the study is to find out the effectiveness of E-Learning among the Higher Secondary School Students.

This study investigates the effectiveness of using E-Learning in teaching in tertiary institutions. In institutions of higher education, the issue of utilizing modern information and communication technologies for teaching and learning is very important. This study reviews literature and gives a scholarly background to the study by reviewing some contributions made by various researchers and institutions on the concept of E-Learning, particularly its usage in teaching and learning in higher educational institutions. It unveils some views that people and institutions have shared globally on the adoption and integration of E-Learning technologies in education through surveys and other observations. This paper tells us about what is E-learning, what is its impact on employee and student performance, what is its history, difference between E-learning and traditional learning, future of E-Learning and some facts about E-Learning that are collected from various websites of Internet are also included in this paper, fact show that it is growing in recent years.

A sample of 40 students from 2 higher secondary schools were selected in Trichy district for this research work using the random sampling techniques. The investigator collected the reviews that are conducted in India and in abroad.

The tool for “Effectiveness of E-Learning” was prepared by the investigator under the two categories “creativity” and “achievement”. Each item consists of 25 questions. The research findings show that the level of effectiveness of E-Learning among the Higher Secondary School Students was high when compared with conventional talk and chalk method.
