E-learning must have four components 1 presentation-contains information about learning context must include relationship between the skills to be learned in the program and those that have been acquired previously . Elicitation-requires learners to make a response that indicates understanding of content or to take an action in response to stimuli presented on the screen. Evaluation-degree to which learners have mastered the most relevant content.
Collaboration-enables real-time interaction with a instructor other learners or anyone else who might contribute to the learning experience.
