Harpreet kaur 2 CSE Dept., SBBSIET PTU, Jalandhar 2 er.harpreetarora@gmail.com Abstract: Education is a means of empower the lives and future within workplace. Numbers of the new technologies have made great impact on learning and education. Internet has shown new paths to learning. Internet usage has been rising steadily, with a growing number of Internet users. People of all ages are becoming more and more familiar with the Internet. The educational resources are accessible to students. Learner needs are increasingly as continuous throughout the working life. E-learning is an opportunity to raise the bar and move forward- learning is an opportunity to make more effective use of scarce resources [1]. In India, e-Learning systems and online courses has already been started. This paper, discuss about E-Learning and their different approaches. Each approach have represent their own Knowledge Base(KB),which are helpful to utilize the knowledge and learning concepts as worldwide via the internet, intranet/extranet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM.E-learning systems, which are made up through knowledge base, enable the students to extend their learning beyond the borders of the classroom by using various technologies. Keywords- Multimedia KB, KB-NLP, multilinguistic, virtual learning environment, virtual classroom. 1. INTRODUCTION E-learning systems are advanced systems that are used to improve students‟ learning capabilities as well as their accessibility by utilizing information and communication technology tools. These systems usually involve activities to increase the interaction among students and between instructors and students. E-learning systems enable students to extend their learning beyond the borders of the classroom by using various technologies. Education has evolved from a material based process where the instructor (teacher) focused on presenting information to students with no regard to the differences in their learning capabilities, and on the other side, student had the role of a receiver, to a learner (student) centered process where students are able to learn at their own pace, and the instructor role changed to being a mentor guiding students to acquire knowledge and improve their learning skills. In addition, the rapid evolution and growth of information and communications technologies (ICT) has lead the development of new services and applications that created value in almost every aspect of life. Education fields have witnessed major development because of ICT services and applications. E-learning systems are educational systems that utilize ICT resources including Internet, computer networks, multimedia and other resources to enhance the learning process and provide students with the necessary tools to acquire knowledge and professional experiences. There are many approaches to implement e- learning systems which enables students in different continents to obtain graduate and post graduate degrees remotely and with no need for attending lectures physically. In addition e-learning systems can also be used in conjunction with traditional learning (blended or integrated learning) to expand the resources available for students, and help them focus on their learning objectives. 2. E-LEARNING APPROACHES There are number of e-learning approaches are available. In this paper we will discuss the various approaches. 2.1.Mutimedia Knowledgebase E-learning Approach Representation of knowledge and learning materials in a computer-based system must be done effectively and efficiently to facilitate the learning
