Using the internet, students can enrol in many foreign courses from different academic institutions in the world. They can live in Bangladesh and complete an online course on marketing at a university located in the United States. Thus students can enrich their qualifications and broaden their knowledge. They can gain an unlimited amount of knowledge in various aspects through e-learning. The Internet has opened the road of knowledge and wisdom for them. Dr. Badrul H Khan is the guru of e-learning. In 1996 he recognized the prospect of a worldwide web for education. He was the one who first used the phrase “web-based instruction”. About e-learning, he says that this system is meaningful to learners when it is easily accessible, well-designed, learner-centred, affordable, efficient, flexible, and has a facilitated learning environment. LMS or Learning Management System is the software application which is used for the administration, documentation, reporting and delivery of e-learning courses or training programs. Dr. Badrul H Khan is particularly enthusiastic about the prospect of e-learning in Bangladesh as it has been promoting digitalization in the past few years and the government has taken some quick and positive steps to utilize the advantages of e-learning.
