About Arjuna
Multimedia During the 1990’s, teaching and learning were transformed by the
increasing power of multi-media computers, broadband networks and significant
improvements in design and delivery of pedagogical content via electronic means.
The industry went from CBT (Computer Based Training) and rudimentary synchronous
learning applications to sophisticated e-Learning platforms that combined the
best of both. As e-Learning matures, the many significant benefits of these
technologies are beginning to be realized and find their place as an adjunct
to traditional, pedagogical approaches. These first forays into network delivered
learning objects shattered the twin barriers of WHEN (Time) and WHERE (Space).
Students can access pedagogical experiences, thus effectively unchaining students
from the requirement of being present in a specific location at a specific time
in order to learn. The necessities of our knowledge-based economy coupled with
the exponential pace of change require us to constantly absorb new knowledge
in order to remain competitive. Online learning provides a practical, cost-effective
foundation for lifelong learning that is reshaping our notions of when and how
we learn. "Learning on demand" provides education tailored to solve
an immediate and specific need for learning that is time sensitive. Often used
to refresh what one has learned or as a reference tool, instant access to learning
has become both convenient and cost effective, allowing the student to minimize
time away from work while simultaneously enhancing the skills, knowledge and
abilities required to adapt to the exigencies of our knowledge-based society.

Many believe that laboratories cannot be taught effectively online. While it is true that some fields or applications (ones requiring tactile interaction) are not well suited to online instruction, it is also true that many lab subjects may be taught effectively online.
