Among the themes that are currently central in Information and Communication Technology (ICT), e-Learning occupies a special place. researchers and institutions with long standing contributions to distance education have woken up to e-Learning’s untapped potentials. To utilize the e-Learning to its full potential it is paramount that the results garnered by all the players in the field of e-Learning are shared.

The need of hour is the platform for interchange of ideas and experiences so that a new perspective on e-Learning concepts, implementations and technologies can be gained,leading to full utilization of e-Learning’s potentials.
