Abstract

This section of the book is going to provide a definition and the role of online education in today’s world. In this section, online education is going to be used interchangeably with similar-minded terms as e-learning, Internet, e-pedagogy, and the application of technology in education and the corporate world. The author will go beyond the role of online education in formal educational institutions and will inculcate the vital role of the Internet in learning, herein referred of to as e-learning, and e-pedagogy, the latter being the renewed interest, and innovative way of incorporation of ICTs in enhancing learning and communication among global players as well as poverty alleviation in rural livelihoods. In essence, the section will deal with the interplay between ICTs and information dissemination, with special emphasis on education provision and the enhancement of communication in an increasingly globalised world.
