E-Learning represents a transformative approach to education by integrating multimedia technologies and the Internet to enhance learning experiences. Through enjoyment, engagement, and collaboration, e-learning improves access to resources and services, making quality education more effective. As educators work towards developing ICT skills and confidence in technology use, the focus shifts to fostering an e-confident environment for both teachers and students. By adopting systems like Virtual Learning Environments and managed learning frameworks, we can prepare for a future where digital literacy is key to success.
