This marvellous distance learn-ing technology, which has the power to democratise and revolutionise teaching-learning, has seen a remark-able transformation in the 20 years since it was first made available to the general public. Computer-based training (CBT), which allowed students to access study materials saved on CD-ROMs, was the first teaching-learning breakthrough of the IT (information technology) sec-tor to take off in the middle of the 1980s. Web-based training (WBT), which made use of digital content stored on CD-ROMs and massive servers, enabled interactive online learning as internet usage increased and broadband connectivity was developed at the turn of the century. 'E-learning 1.0' is an evolution of the first web-based training model. The first Learning Management Systems (LMS) software was cre-ated to establish, design, and manage study programmes as well as to enable material distribution, user registration, monitoring, and certi-fication. This was a game-changing development for the emerging online learning sector. Instead of learning, the LMS was more con-cerned with material delivery. There was little interaction and coop-eration between teachers and students at this point. Teachers started recommending a more active role for students in the teaching-learning process in the late 1990s, and they started using straightforward tech-nologies like mailing lists and newsgroups to foster interaction. This was because the E-learning 1.0 architecture made very little provision for teacher-learner interaction. This sparked work on web conferenc-ing technology development.

The birth of these technologies has resulted in the availability of an array of interactive services, which can be collectively termed `E-learning 2.0'.Emmanuel Christi DasEditoreditor@siliconindia.com
